Two fein question....

[tree]

I will have 6 segments on my vac table.... Should I run one fein on three and the other on the other 3.... Or put both together in one manifold for all 6 segments?.......

It depends on how they are broken up. If you tee both hoses into a 2" pipe, you are going to lose some CFM. If you separate them into 2 banks of 3 zones, you can get around this issue, but try to distribute them so that you can use both vacs to hold down a 4X8 sheet. (if you have a 5X10 for instance, plumb the 1st vac into a 4X4 zone, and the 2nd into another 4X4' zone, plus the 2X4 and 1X10' zones, which you can turn off) Hope that makes sense...

Yeah... thats what I was planing on doing.... 2 banks with two 30"x30" zones and one 30"x36 zone each. That way I could cover 5'x5' sheets and 4'x8' sheets since thats all I work with and it would be easier to go between them. Thanks Brady

I am doing a 4 zone with two vacs - 4 2X4 zones on a 4X8 table . Am I better to plumb each vac into 2 zones then to have both vacs plumbed into all 4 zones with a T . It is easier to plum with a vac going into 2 zones .

When I ran a vacuum table such as your 4'X8' 4 zone I ran plumbing from each zone into a manifold and connected two Fein vacs to the manifold. With this setup, you can pull from any zone or combination of zones with the volume of air from both.
