Hi,
What are the main advantages of using the cutting table over the honeycomb table?
I mainly cut acrylic, which table is best?
Thanks

The honeycomb bed is preferrable as it reduces reflections while cutting.
Becuase you get a criss-cross pattern underneath the cut edges of the acrylic, you can pack up the acrylic (eg put sheet on top of acrylic blocks) and add the extra height into the custom fixture setting.
Try and make sure the blocks are away from the tool path, and that any bits that will fall out, are also packed underneath
