phonlic material Question

[tonyc]

Hi guys the owner of the company which I work at wants me to use phonlic board fixtures for the cnc routers.Because he says thats what everyone is useing .I have been using gray pcv for the past 6 years and Im happy with it.I've tryed many other types of materials over my 15 years of programing and I like the pvc.So my question is what do you guys use and and there a plus in using a PHONLIC board. PS. I'm sorry if I spelled it wrong

I used to work at a shop where we used phonlic for all of our fixtures to cut 2D shapes from UHMW, Celcon and even 304SS. Never had any problems other than dowel holes used for locating would get sloppy over time.
