I am cutting a lot of solid wood 4/4 and 8/4 tropical woods and some American. So I needed a stronger vac setup. So I used ¾” acrylic with a simple hole drilled about ½ the way through the edge and a small hole then some 1/8 vac foam tape and some thin neoprene rubber to help keep parts from jiggling around. I screwed it down to a sheet of ¾” ply that is held with my fein setup. I made this 4 zones for 5 to 7” long wood then to 15” then to 24” then to 36” this is every strong setup I have run it with a small pump and it is fine. Sometimes one of the zones leaks but it is not really an issue. The last pic is some of the parts I cut out. They are 1.5” thick and the wood is almost 2”
