Vacuum table: Comes with the valves, plumbing, and vacuum pump. You will need to add a sacrificial spoil board and cut the holes for the vacuum fittings, then machine it flat and machine grooves into the table for foam gasketing. We will provide you with the files for the mounting holes and grid.
Power requirements: 110v 3 Amps for the machine, then whatever power requirements the spindle/router needs.
