Yeah. I have a couple more pieces that I need to cut and install, but time didn't allow and I was excited to post something.

Machine with 1/4" hardware cloth stretched tight over the knife style bed. It's similar in function to a honeycomb table, but easier to flatten because I can adjust the knife style table in the z axis easier than honeycomb.

Configured to hold a 4' x 8' sheet of plywood flat. The vacuum is enough to keep the plywood within about 1/4" of flat which is sufficient for my purposes.

Configured to hold 2x 24"x120" glued planks. At 3/16" thick, the planks pull flat nicely against the wire mesh

Video showing the vacuum pulling the thin planks flat. I have used jigs before to accomplish a similar result on smaller pieces, but across such large pieces, vacuum was really the only way I could think of to hold the wood flat.
