Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) provides a 2.5'x5' work surface to use for vinyl weeding and other tasks.

It is for all our members to use, without any additional required training (Level 1).



Use the Assembly Table for:

Vinyl weeding, transfer taping
Processing output from our large format printer
Collating or laminating

DO NOT use the Assembly Table for:

Painting, staining, gluing, Magic Erasing, or anything that will "leave a mark"
(We do have a Vented Room and other tables for these projects.)
