The Mach Vacuum Systems are great time savers for the professional and hobbyist alike. Simply attach your shop vac to the 1?" tapered port and you're ready for clamp free working with most any hand held power tool. The system works using a series of valves and gaskets. When you set a work piece on the valves it pushes the ball bearing down, opening the airflow and allowing the shop vac's suction to hold the material in place. The gasket is a rubber seal that surrounds the valve. When the valve is opened the gasket forms a vacuum which holds the work piece in place, providing solid holding power for pieces from 3-3/4" x 3-3/4" to 48" x 48".

(A) Mini Mach Vac System- Measures 24" x 12" x 3" and requires a flat work surface. The Mini Mach uses rubber gaskets on the bottom to "clamp" itself to your work surface.

(B) Mach-2 Vac System- Measures 24" x 12" x 1-1/2" and is a sealed cavity unit, so it doesn't require a flat work surface. You can either permanently bolt it to your workbench or use a clamping bar (made of a section of 3" x 2" lumber) to clamp in a bench vice or portable workbench.

Build It Yourself...
These kits provide all the essential parts and instructions needed to produce your own Vac System, except the lumber.

(C) U-Mach Kit- Includes 12 ball valves, 1 vacuum control tap plate with screws, 1 vacuum control tap and locking nut, 1 vented hose adapter (1-1/2"), 15' top gasket material, 7-1/2' bottom gasket material, comprehensive instruction manual.

(D) Big-Mach Kit- Includes 21 ball valves, 1 vacuum control tap plate with screws, 1 vacuum control tap and locking nut, 1 control tap plate gasket, 1 vented hose adapter (1-1/2"), 15' bottom gasket material, 30' top gasket material.

(E) Gaskets- Re-configure the layout of your vacuum table to your needs. Decrease the size of vacuum cells to hold smaller pieces or replace any worn gaskets. Sizes below show height x width x length.

(F) Ball Valve Assembly- Consists of a chromium ball bearing, tapered return spring, cir-clip and housing body. The return spring holds the ball bearing up flush against the tapered breach in the neck of the housing. This represents the 'closed' position of the valve with no airflow possible. By applying downward pressure on the counter-sprung ball bearing, contact between it and the tapered breach in the housing neck is broken, opening the valve to airflow. When placed in the center of a vacuum cell of rubberised gasket material downward pressure from the workpiece opens the valve and a vacuum seal is formed holding it securely in place. Set of 6.
