I see that Neil Erasmus made a custom vacuum chuck to secure thin workpieces as they run through he planer.... very interesting!
?
What's unusual about this (in my experience with other vacuum chucks) is that, instead of securing the workpiece firmly, it allows the workpiece to slide over the chuck, driven by the feed rollers (ie the workpiece moves, the chuck is stationary).... I would never have thought of attempting that.
?
In order to remove such minuscule amounts on each pass, I assume that he is not using the standard Felder steel feed rollers?

Thanks for the very ool info!
