CE 06 100

All Star CNC CE 06 100 In-Board Gasketing — Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is CE 06 100 In-Board Gasketing?

CE 06 100 is a low-density in-board vacuum gasket designed for CNC router vacuum tables. It installs inside routed vacuum channels to create an air-tight seal and improve hold-down performance.

2. What do the numbers “06 100” mean?

“06” indicates a 1/16″ (0.062″) thickness, and “100” indicates a 1″ (1.000″) width, making this gasket suitable for very wide routed vacuum channels.

3. When would I use a 1″ wide gasket?

A 1″ width is typically used on large-format vacuum tables or custom fixtures with wide channel routing that require increased sealing surface area.

4. What is in-board gasketing?

In-board gasketing is installed directly into routed grooves within a spoilboard or fixture board to isolate vacuum zones and increase suction strength.

5. What CNC machines can use CE 06 100?

It is compatible with CNC routers and vacuum tables that utilize routed grid systems designed to accept wide-channel gasket material.

6. What materials benefit from improved vacuum sealing?

MDF, plywood, hardwood panels, plastics, aluminum composite materials, and other non-porous sheet goods benefit from stronger vacuum isolation.

7. What does low-density gasket mean?

Low-density gasket compresses easily, making it suitable for moderate vacuum systems and applications where excessive compression resistance is not required.

8. Is CE 06 100 adhesive-backed?

Yes. It includes adhesive on one side to simplify installation within routed vacuum channels.

9. How long is each roll?

Standard rolls typically contain approximately 164 feet of gasket material.

10. Does wider gasket improve vacuum performance?

Wider gasket increases the sealing surface area, which can improve vacuum zone isolation and hold strength when matched to the correct channel size.

11. Can this gasket be used in custom vacuum fixtures?

Yes. It is commonly used in dedicated CNC fixtures where strong and consistent sealing is required.

12. Does it improve machining accuracy?

Yes. Improved vacuum hold reduces part movement and vibration, leading to better cut precision.

13. Can it reduce the need for tabs?

Yes. Proper vacuum isolation often reduces or eliminates the need for mechanical tabs in many CNC cutting applications.

14. Is CE 06 100 suitable for large-format CNC routers?

Yes. The 1″ width makes it especially useful for larger vacuum tables with wide grid routing.

15. How do I determine if this width is correct for my spoilboard?

Measure your routed vacuum channel width. The gasket should fit securely within the groove without over-compression or gaps.

16. Is this gasket reusable?

Once installed, it remains in place until wear or compression fatigue reduces sealing performance, at which point replacement is recommended.

17. Are other sizes available?

Yes. All Star CNC offers a range of gasket widths and densities to match various CNC vacuum table designs.

18. Is bulk purchasing available?

Yes. Case quantities are available for production shops with higher gasket consumption.
