Black Box Vac Source

Daren,

Thanks, that makes sense now. Since they are to scale I can get them into Aspire.

All you have to do is open it in Aspire and delete the arrows you will have to join the sides also

One thing that may not make sense to you when looking at the vectors would be the exhaust holes in one of the panels. That's because I drew them as angled cuts going through the panel. You'll have to clean these up a little before cutting.

And like Jerry said, just move my notes & lines to another layer so they won't get cut - or delete them.

I would appreciate any positive or negative feedback on the way I have drawn this in aspire. I used Daren's dfx file, and attempted to toolpath it somewhat like the poictures of Gary's Box. Please feel free to make adjustment's or use this as a template for your own box.

David, I am not sure I know what I am looking at, am pretty low on the totem pole around here as far as computers and proramming, etc. However, I did notice that you have tiny little tabs holding your parts in place and only one for each part. With no vacuum as yet, I would make my tabs at least .75" long and .25" thick and add several of them to each piece. I you use 3d tabs, you might make them .5" thick. Just my humble opinion, ....joe (would show a smile here, but don't even know how to do that!)

Quick question about the litehouse motors... is there any reason why you would use the LH7123-13 motors as Gary uses opposed to the LH6765-OD 240 volt that is on the same page that Gary links to at the beginning of this thread? Beyond that they are not flat bottomed they seem that they would have more suction value to them.

Thanks!

Jason...
The do have more suction, but due to the non flat bottom and overdrive, I selected "the ol standby" (LH 7123) If you buy them, let us know how they work.

Wow that was a fast reply!
Thanks Gary, appreciate it! And thanks for a great thread too with all your helpful insights and pictures along the way

From post #91, how was the switchbox attached to the metal frame?

Thanks to Gary and everyone who contributed to this thread - I think this will do great towards lessening the noise in my shop. Can't wait for the motors to arrive so I can get this thing on-line.
