Michael - Cheese:
Thx for the info.
FYI...
Bought one - Took it home. NO JOY. Back it went.
Tried it using sanded S4S Cherry and Pine.
Then tried a sheet of 3/8” plastic.
So... Sealing wasn’t the problem.
Also FYI...
My home/shop is in the Colorado Springs’ zip code -
But away from the city of COS - Where Woodcraft and the CNC shops are located.
Ergo... 7,500’ versus COS “proper’s” 6,035’.
Refrigerators, freezers, and the AC work fine at my place -
Although, we only turn the AC on one day a year (4 JULY) -
Just to make sure it works if we ever need it.
So... Still looking for a vacuum “alternative”.
