  • Storage for Festool Vac Sys clamping system accessories

    From Bob Davis@21:1/5 to All on Sat Oct 23 11:16:03 2021
    I may be the only person here of the complete Festool Vac Sys system. Just in case there is one other member that has it, I thought I would share my completed setup for storing the various vacuum cups. I made it out of 12mm baltic birch with a few
    strips of 3/4" particle board glued to the back to keep the cups from falling out.

    Please do not comment about how expensive this system is or how much cheaper your chosen system is. I use this set up at least 10 times a day and I am very, very happy with it.

    Correction: I used 6mm (~1/4") baltic birch. It doesn't have to be strong, just stiff enough to avoid flexing.

    Wow That is a nice compact set up and storage lay out.

    You should have,......... ;~)

    used a Shaper Origin for the holes to hold each clamp holder! ;!)

    Have you thought about getting one of those? ;~)
