.
Machine bed already contains all the channels and holes for
vacuum holding so just a manifold needs to be installed:
Manifold will be installed in this area under the machine bed:
Screw on the manifold to the underside:
Attach the standard Schedule 40 elbow to the manifold.
It can be oriented in any direction to match the vacuum pump location:
Overall layout of the vacuum holding system:
Vacuum holding set installation is finished.
A single piece of 1/4" MDF sheet on top of the machine bed to be provided by customer.
I will be out of the country for business for a while and won't be able to work on the machine during that time.
I will be following CNC Zone on the computer, though.
