I have ordered the Project EVS kit from Joe Woodworker that is designed to provide a quick and inexpensive means of building a vacuum clamping system for my ShopBot. I haven't had the need for a full table vacuum system but occasionally I have the need to clamp small parts and plaques.
I found the Joe Woodworker web site and after a bit of research determined that a small Gast compressor I own will be suitable for building the JWW EVS vacuum clamp. The parts arrived yesterday and I have already assembled both of the small manifolds.
If anyone is interested in my progress I would be glad to take some pictures of the build as it progresses.
