* Foam: Urethane. At least 18 lb or greater recommended--the lower the density the more dust. (Available at [https://shop.sculpt.com/foam/urethane-foam/ Compleat Sculptor])
* Plastic: Acrylic (must be CAST acrylic), Delrin, polypropylene, etc.
* Metal: Aluminum, brass.
* Wood: Soft/hard grain wood, veneer wood (plywood, etc.).
* Foam: [https://www.generalplastics.com/products](Urethane foam) ("prototype foam") is OK; lower density gives more dust, and 18lb is recommended for CNC. You can [https://shop.sculpt.com/foam/urethane-foam/](buy it at Compleat Sculptor on 19th Street) or [https://www.mcmaster.com/tooling-foam/](McMaster-Carr). Despite what you might see on the internet, '''DO NOT''' use XPS insulation foam from Home Depot (it develops a static charge when cut, and clings to the exposed lead screws, requiring complete disassembly of the CNC to clean, and the dust is too light to be caught by the dust collector.)
