So it works perfect, doent it? I was considering about using 4mm rubber and also 4mm grooves

hi . i read through your answers. i was looking for what material and how thick you did use to build this setup . You said it is HDF 20mm . Where did you get that thickness from please. Im looking online in uk and maximum here is 6mm. Like you bed. Thanks. ps. i know this is old now but HDF part is most needed.

Wow, just 4 inlet ports? Impressive!

Hi. awesome job on the vacuum table. what type of wood did you use for it?

would you be willing to share your CAD files for this?

hello great job , you can share the cad vaccum poject ? thanks

what size is the cabinet you have for that pump

а какой материал использовали для стола?

Превосходно!!

O k So now for my dumb questions. Am I understanding the video right is the suction on this table zoned? If I'm understanding it right you can run suction to only a part of it at a time if you want or the entire area if you need it. I like it as this was what I was thinking of doing after watching several videos on here about how to build one. I was thinking of several layers that the air would be pulled through as it worked its way around the table. But I wasn't sure how to form these channels in a round or square grid. and 2 to 3 layers on top of each other as it pulled from the outside in or from center as it worked out. Any advice on this would be very good. Good video!!!

Fantastic job building this vac table. Can we download the CAD files for this vac table?

Nice work buddy... !

Hi Ralf, what is reading on your vacuum gauge when you using your table? I made similar table and i have similar vacuum pump but when vacuum is not perfect (less than 30 inch/hg) vacuum pump makes loud noise and starts smoking after a while... So i don't know... bad pump or bad gasket? Did you have that problem? Thanks!

@ralfklaassen

9 жыл бұрын

Yes the pump smokes a bit when your oil level is above middle. but it makes almost no noise.. its verry quit.. so thta i dont know. last week i used the pump for 3,5 hours straith and no problems. the vacuum reading is verry different from the material used.. plastics i have -0,8 to -0,9 bar .. if i use wood it can suck treu the wood and give a bit les reading.. 0,5 below i will not thrust it anymore and use a clamp(s) also

What is the depth of the channel

Hello. Tell the power of the pump in kW? The size of your desk? The depth of the labyrinth in the table? The size of the square? Thank you

ShaggyRmz Yes it's possible but I wouldn't recommend it. MDF board allows airflow to flow through the board which defeats the point of milling all the vacuum slots. Usually you have a vacuum table like shown and put MDF board on top, then add your material to the top of that to route. This way, you can cut through the material into the MDF board and not damage your vacuum table.
