Has anyone tried using the gecko and adapter to cut cut prefinished maple ply? How did it work?
Thanks

Sorry I can't answer your question but I'm guessing the next item added
to the new vacuum clamp system will be a vacuum powered Gecko.
That would surely work on pre-finished surfaces.

A little late for a reply, but I didn't want to start a new thread.
Had to remove the 1/4" panel so the HVAC guys could access the blower so they could hook up the duct work...But I needed a way to put it back. Enter the geckos!
A bead of caulk on the panel perimeter, micro pins and done.

Kitchen designers rarely design these things in. It always starts with a proactive phone call to the designer that ends with "can't you just..."  . I've almost got him trained... Just something you have to work around as a kitchen fitter. Jon |

I had the Gecko's and often use unfinished ply. They did not hold. Gecko's hold on laminates, glass, etc.

Hey I tried it on ply but found it can be a pain to set up with a rail, but... all is not lost I do stick it to the side of my full sheets for carrying, works awesome.
thx

I use it on pre finished birch with the parallel guides...it also makes it easier to carry my cabinet boxes around when done.
