Festool Vac Sys Unit 1

This is a typical Festool product, full of innovation, ease to use, oozing quality, unrivalled build quality and that "must have" appeal, all brought together in a new vacuum clamping system. Easily portable at just over 16kg complete, and comprising 2 parts, both housed in Systainer boxes, the pump unit is built into its own box with external connections for power and vacuum hose, together with the operating switch and vacuum gauge. At 68dB(A) it's so quiet you will hardly know it's running. The second box houses the vacuum clamp unit plus hoses and a foot pedal control. The clamp kit has a 215mm suction base as standard which is able to rotate through 360° and tilt though 90°. The whole clamping assembly is based on a die cast alloy housing, and cleverly, it can clamp itself to your work table! The suction pad has a central push valve to activate the suction automatically when you place the workpiece onto the pad, the suction is then released by the foot pedal control. With up to 90kg of suction force your work is really clamped. For large work an extra clamping kit can be purchased, complete with all connectors etc, and in its own Systainer box. This will enable doors and other large items to be held. These clamps will hold wood, plastics, MDF, glass and many other materials. You can then sand, plane, rout, machine, assemble and finish many types of work in safety and in a manner that will not damage or contaminate the work. If you are a joiner, boat builder, musical instrument or cabinet maker, or wish to display your work at an exhibition, this system will provide a long term solution to many work holding problems.
