The present device is a cutting table for supporting a workpiece above a support surface while cutting the workpiece with a tool. The cutting table is comprised of at least one foam table piece that includes a top side, a bottom side, and at least one peripheral edge. Two or more foam standoffs project upwardly from the top side of the foam table piece a common height and each terminate at a top surface adapted for contacting and supporting the workpiece. The two or more standoffs allow the workpiece, when supported by the foam table piece, to be cut with the tool even if some of the standoffs are damaged by the tool. Preferably a portion of the area of the top surfaces of the standoffs to an area of the top side of the foam table pieces is less than 50%, preferably being between either 20-30% or 45-50%.

A robust cleaning and ventilation system for a work station such as a manicure station, employing table geometry to create high efficiency in debris and odor removal while providing a conditioned make-up air return that completes the full ventilation process. The manicure station includes a modular implementation such that the necessary equipment is not a single custom bespoke installation and can be used universally.

A housing assembly for selectively receiving a part includes a platform and a pad fixed to the platform. The pad has a frictional surface for maintaining a position of the part relative to the pad when the part is disposed on the frictional surface. The housing assembly includes a door apparatus coupled to the platform. The door apparatus surrounds the pad. The door apparatus is movable to an open position in which the frictional surface of the pad is exposed outside of the door apparatus for receiving the part and a closed position in which the frictional surface of the pad is concealed inside of the door apparatus. A method of removing particles from a frictional surface of a pad before performing a manufacturing process has a door apparatus disposed in a closed position to present a chamber that encloses the pad.
