A spoilboard is a disposable workbench mounted above the router's table. It can protect the router table from damage as well as being an expendable surface that can participate in workholding.
Material: MDF (Medium-Density Fibreboard). MDF is very dense translating into more weight with enhanced strength and durability. Size is 30 x 18 x 1.2cm (11-4/5''x 7''x 1/2'')
Compatibility: Perfectly compatible with ALL 3018 Series CNC Router Kits except the 3018-PROVer V2
Application: Usually used when cutting or carving wooden materials. The MDF spoilboard is used as a base to cut on so that your CNC table is not damaged by the cutting tools. It can ensure the stability of the cutting material, thereby achieving more precise cutting

Precautions
Make sure the MDF spoilboard is secured well to the machine bed.
Make sure the CNC material is clamped tight to the MDF spoilboard / machine bed, or you will get vibration, chatter, poor cut finish, and can possibly break your cutting bit.
Do not use any lubricant when you use an MDF spoilboard. It will swell and expand if it gets wet. So using spray or mist coolant or oils is not recommended.

Installation Guide
Preparing your Spoilboard
When your spoilboard arrives, it should come with everything you need to be installed. In order to check, please compare the bottom of your spoilboard to the one shown above.
Assuming that your spoilboard looks like the above, you will want to partially unscrew the 6 T nuts shown above so that there will be some room for them to shift properly as you tighten them during installation.
Installation
Next, you will want to align the T Nuts so that they will be able to fit into the slots on your CNC bed. It is best to do so while the board is oriented for installation. Please see image 2 for what will fit (circled in green) versus what orientations will not fit (circled in red).
With the spoilboard in place, tighten the hex screws as far as they will go without over-tightening. As you do so, each T nut will rotate and clamp into place, securing your spoilboard to the CNC bed.
Enjoy Making
Once you have done so, try lifting your spoilboard at each corner to make sure that all T slot nuts have properly anchored to the bed.
The spoilboard has been successfully installed, now you can enjoy making!
