Tile gasket is a semi-sacrificial perforated foam gasket that covers your entire AirWeights table. Restricting the airflow through the perforations in the gasket turns each tiny hole into a powerful suction point, holding down parts with equal force across the entire surface of the table.

This approach lets you cut all the way through the workpiece, allowing the bit to kiss the foam (set your cut depth a hair deeper than the bottom of your part). The elimination of tabs or onion skin speeds up your workflow, and gives a cleaner cut on your part.

The Tile Gasket is manufactured in adhesive-backed sheets. For use on the AirWeights table, we recommend applying the gasket to 1/4" MDF. The MDF should be faced on both sides to ensure it remains porous.

We offer the gasket sheets, and pre-applied gasket assemblies (gasket sheet applied to 1/4" MDF that has been surfaced on both sides)

Tile Gasket Sheet Specifications:

  • Sheet Thickness (1/16") Thickness
  • Sheet Size: 24" x 24" 
  • Perforated Holes: 1/4" Dia.

Save Time & Money

The AirWeights system gains the user several efficiencies.

  • Saves time: You can secure multiple parts quickly
  • Cut down on material waste: No need to leave room on stock for screws or clamps.
  • Maximize table space: less clamps = more workspace
  • Repeatability: Refine your workflow and make your process more efficient
  • Reliability: Holding force is distributed evenly under your entire workpiece for a uniform and reliable hold


Using What's Already There

The Weight of Air

It might not seem like it, but air is heavy! The pressure of the atmosphere above us pushes down with a force of almost 15lbs per square inch.

All you have to do to unlock that weight, is create an area of low pressure below a mass, which AirWeights achieves in a compact, efficient, and affordable formfactor.

The 24x24 AirWeights table can unleash nearly 8,000lbs of holding power at the flip of a switch!
