Abstract
The present invention relates to a porous support (20) intended to be removably positioned on a top side (11b) of a perforated plate (11) of a table (10) of a vacuum hold down device (1), the perforated plate having a bottom side (11a) connected to a vacuum system (13) for producing reduced pressure on the bottom side, wherein the porous support includes a perforated tray (21) provided on one side (21a) with outer reliefs (23) and on the other side (21b) with a blade penetrable porous structure (22) fixed thereon. The invention further relates to a vacuum hold down device (1) including such a support. The invention also relates to a process for replacing a first porous support by a second porous support in such a device.
