CE 06 25

All Star CNC CE 06 25 In-Board Gasketing — Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the CE 06 25 In-Board Gasketing?

CE 06 25 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 that improves hold-down performance.

2. What do the numbers “06 25” mean?

“06” indicates a 1/16″ (0.062″) thickness, and “25” indicates a 1/4″ (0.250″) width, making it suitable for wider routed vacuum channels.

3. 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 where needed.

4. Why would I choose 1/4″ width instead of 1/8″?

The 1/4″ width is ideal for wider vacuum channels or higher airflow systems where additional sealing surface improves vacuum isolation and hold strength.

5. What CNC machines is CE 06 25 compatible with?

It is compatible with CNC routers that use routed vacuum grid systems for part hold-down.

6. What materials benefit from improved vacuum sealing?

Wood, MDF, plywood, plastic sheets, aluminum composite panels, and other non-porous sheet goods benefit from stronger vacuum isolation.

7. What does “low density” mean?

Low-density gasket compresses easily, making it well suited for lighter materials or vacuum systems that do not require heavy compression resistance.

8. Is CE 06 25 adhesive-backed?

Yes. It includes adhesive on one side for easy installation inside vacuum channels.

9. How long is each roll?

Each roll typically contains approximately 164 feet of gasket material.

10. Can this be used in custom CNC fixtures?

Yes. It is commonly used in dedicated vacuum fixtures where repeatable part positioning requires consistent sealing.

11. Does this gasket improve cut accuracy?

Yes. Improved vacuum hold reduces part movement during machining, which enhances precision and reduces scrap.

12. Can it reduce the need for mechanical clamps or tabs?

Yes. Strong vacuum isolation often reduces or eliminates the need for tabs and mechanical hold-downs.

13. Is it suitable for high-production shops?

Yes. In-board gasketing is widely used in both small shops and large production CNC facilities.

14. How do I know if 1/4″ width is correct for my spoilboard?

Measure the width of your routed vacuum channels. The gasket should fit snugly within the groove without over-compressing.

15. Is this gasket reusable?

Once installed, it remains in place until wear or damage occurs. Replacement is only needed when sealing performance declines.

16. Are other thickness or density options available?

Yes. All Star CNC offers multiple gasket sizes and densities to match different vacuum systems and applications.

17. Does it improve vacuum efficiency?

Yes. Properly sealed vacuum zones increase suction efficiency and reduce air leakage across unused areas.

18. Is bulk purchasing available?

Yes. Case quantities are available for shops with high gasket consumption.
