Gecko on pre finished maple plywood?

[Les]

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.

did youy design in that feature from the start

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..."  [big grin].  I've almost got him trained...

Just something you have to work around as a kitchen fitter.

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.
