Vacuum Table with controllable zones

New to Group

Just thought I’d share my vac table that works great. It utilizes 3 zones with 2 vac ports per zone. There are 3 ball valves and plugs to shut off different zones so you aren't trying to hold down areas where your work piece isn't touching. Within each zone one of the ports can be shut down to increase suction. The system was made with 2” pipe and fittings. Remember to seal with paint or clear coat all of the cut grid lines and around the vac ports because MDF when sanded or cut allows air to flow through those areas. Currently using 6 peak hp shop vac which was laying around and just ordered a 220v vac motor model #122178-18 and gasket from www.centralvacuummotor.com there is a 110v version as well. There are 4 quick pics, my total cost minus vac $275
