Wikify date February 2012 Unreferenced date March 2009 A vacuum table is a system for holding workpieces during machining. The device consists of a perforated table top containing a vacuum chamber, and a vacuum pump to keep the vacuum chamber below ambient enough pressure. The workpiece is placed on the top of the vacuum chamber, and thus held down by the pressure differential between the vacuum chamber and the outside air. A Vacuum Table consists of a typically flat rigid surface in which exists small holes or channels in which to evacuate air from under a workpiece, as to apply varying vacuum from between the desired workpiece and table to maintain a clamping force greater than that needed to machine a part, generally, in a Mill, Lathe, EDM Electro Discharge Machine, Pantograph or any other commonly used machine in a machine shop environment. The main purpose of the Vacuum Table is to allow full access to all sides of a machined part, except the side in which the part contacts Vacuum Table. A Vacuum Table is similar to a Magnetic Clamping Table in use, typically, to the same end as a Vacuum Table except instead of vacuum, the Magnetic Table uses electro magnetic attraction to restrain ferrous materials to the table facilitating ease of access for modern machining. A Vacuum Table, of course, is not limited to ferrous materials. The Table works by manipulating atmospheric pressure to provide workpiece force against a surface. This increases static friction against forces of a cutter of various types used today. As atmospheric pressure up to 29 inHg allows clamping force of approx 14 PSI at sea level.

The table shows for each combination of symbols and the number of coins bet, how many coins the bettor will win. On older machines and some newer reel machines, the pay table is listed on the face of the machine, usually above and below the area containing the wheels. Each machine has a table that lists the number of credits the player will receive if the symbols listed on the pay table line up on the payline of the machine.
