## Description

Five precision-formed metal supports that sit across the bed of the MetalFab CNC cutter, allowing sheet material to stay flat and steady while it is cut.

Thin sheet is the hardest material to cut cleanly. Below about 1mm, unsupported metal flexes and drums under the cutting head, and that movement shows up in the finished part as waviness and inconsistent edge quality. Laying the full set of slats across the bed puts distributed support directly beneath the workpiece, so the sheet stays where it was placed.

This is a spare set - every MetalFab CNC Cutter already ships with slats fitted. Slats are a consumable: they take dross, heat and the occasional cut-through, and their supporting edges dull over time. Keeping a fresh set on the shelf means a worn bed never holds up production.

### Features

- Keeps thin sheet flat and vibration-free during cutting, preventing the waviness that ruins edge quality on material 1mm and below
- Distributes support across the full bed when all five slats are laid, rather than leaving the workpiece spanning unsupported gaps
- Designed as a replaceable consumable, so a slat that has taken heavy dross or a cut-through can be swapped out instead of degrading every job that follows
- Genuine xTool part, dimensioned to drop straight into the MetalFab bed with no shimming, trimming or improvised fitment
- Held as a spare, removes the downtime of waiting on a replacement part mid-project
