Thanks all for your kind comments.

Splinter, the way I connect the pods together, I can run each individually with a gang of splitters (1 short),

though it may get a tad costly.

I am considering shortening my hoses quite extensively. With the Nitto connections between pods, I could slip in extensions if I needed that longer span.

This is one great video I came across by accident.  Great presentation.


My problem is that I have large covered with my '$tool VACSYS, and large pieces can also be stabilised with mats and these gizmos of mine,

It's the small pieces that I have trouble with and I'd hate to try and wing routers etc... over small pieces to get a comparable size... plus the hassle... sometimes it's more economical to buy... though it could be fun to make for all you thrillseekers out there.

Sanding small parts is always a problem for me since I don't make furniture anymore. I've been thinking about some type of vac system for the convenience. Thanks for the info.

Your avatar may look "cavemanish" (no offense meant, I love it), however, you are not Robinson Crusoe... many people would have the same issue, furthermore I am burdened by a dodgy left holding/gripping arm/hand.

A vacuum pump would never go astray... especially if someone did a review of vacuum chucks for all the crazy bowl turners out there.

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
