Thanks Gary,
Funny my manifold under the table looks just like that. I left room so I could cut the 2 " pipes when I built it so I could add that type valves later but I haven't yet.
I am going to save your post so I can refer back to it. I was thinking of adding a 3rd motor to the 2 I have now. I may not need it but with your setup they only run when the vacuum drops I really like that idea. I should gain a lot when I redo it and glue the spoil board and seal the edges. My spoilboard edges are semi sealed now I varnished them when I made the system.

Thank Gary. I miss post # 8 That help alot. Couple of guess those. Was their any thought in useing the black over the white or is that what you had? The other question. Where did you place the vac switch in your system? I can't seem to see it in the picture. One more. How far do you think I can place the vac unit from the table before I start to lose vac? I want to place it about 20' from my table and thinking of used a 4" trunk line. think that would help?
thank

Black was just the right height on the rack to slide onto the cart and the white had to be lifted. No real reason, as they are the same product. Black box sounds better.
When I installed the analog swith from Joe WW I drillead and tapped a 1/8" pipe thread into the front vac chamber on the side with the relays. Once I switched to the digital I tapped the Vac distribution manifold under the table.
With 4" pipe, I dont think that 20-30 feet would be a problem. Look at post #40 for a little more info

vacuum box
Hi Gary….
I just wanted to thank you for the picture of the new vacuum box you built and design. Also thank you for the help you gave me with it. I try making it out of the melamine like you. But I can’t work with that stuff. I made mine out of ¾” birch veneer. I got to tell you it works GREAT. The sound is way down. I think I will just keep it in the shop. The vacuum I can’t get over. I got my vacuum switch in today I can’t wait to install it.
Again Thank
Frank

Glad its working out for you. I agree on the melamine.
One thing to look out for is relay switching current. Many of the digital switches only have 80ma switching current. Make sure yours is below that.

I just made my two vac box. but i did it out of plywood as it was all I had. I did not use all of the baffles though I wish I had the room to do it. it is more noisy then the feins. they are about 80db and the box is 90db. but I also have twice the vac inches. I will need to hard hose it though the fein hoses want to collapse.
