VACUUM TABLE QUESTIONS !

[eightwgt@aol.com]

Hey guys....

I have seen a few posts on here regarding vac table setups.... So what have the majority of you that are using them come up with.
Whats the better design - The table with holes, or the table with a slot system ?
Is 2 Shop Vac sufficiant on a 4 X 8 ?
I didnt end up buying the shopbot after all - I designed and built my own actually
(http://www.inshorepowerboats.com/cnc%20stuff/CNCROUTER.htm) I even have sold some plans... But I want to put a VAC system on it now and torn between the few methods of doing so, and one guy thats building my machine is also looking for suggestions.....

Thanks for ANY input !

Are you not being a little cheeky? The ShopBot wasn't good enough for you, but you want to steal ideas from ShopBotters?

Saw an "anti-vacuum" table recently. It can be changed over from "suck" to "blow" so that you can "hovercraft" sheets into place.

Tom,

This is a "Let's talk shopbot forum."
Yea, try your Shop Vac idea.
