Hi Gang,
The Vacuum project is close at hand.
Joe is back, and we just finished talking. He is sending me a format sheet to use as LHR is trying to keep all directons/documentation in a common format.
While I'm waiting/working on this modification I'm posting one of my PDF(s) so you can gather to needed material.
The project should be listed on the Pattern list at $30.00 very soon.

This is my re design and build of my front load DC-Insert. Probably will make one small modification to the height of the intake end to increase the access to the cutting head.
After waiting over a month on the fab shop to make these I have decided to do it myself. They were trying (very) to work on these in their spare time and was not getting it done. They did do 2 versions but both would not fit the CW.
My material of choice is .025 aluminum. It is light weight, easy for me to work with and easy to install/remove. The 4" collar is std. galvanized duct. The intake size is approx. 14.5" X 1". Weight is just over 1 LB.
This is what I came up with for a lock down system. It is a swing down that hooks on the small flange of the frame just above the head lock handle. It is positioned such that you have to push down lightly on the insert to lock it in place.
I have posted some more pictures on the CNC ArtGuild forum (only 5/post here).

Has anyone figured out the screw size for the holes on the deck?
I'm working on a DC design that would bolt directly there, and don't want to buy a bunch of bolts to figure it out if I don't have to.
Also the deck seems to be aluminum so rare earth magnets won't work for holding down a DC.
thanks

I would think it is metric about a M5 that is about a 1/4 inch.

Hello, this is Max (newbee). I mounted a 1/4" board using what I think were 10/32 screws and on top of that board I inset a socket rare earth magnets.on the opposing side I mounted my DC plate & housing. the result is an easily removable DC hood for quick bit changes & clean up.(P.S) I may have tapped the new size..since it was only alum.this was about a year ago...(CRS) !..oh ! I think I searched with a tap by running it (lightly into the hole to find the correct thread size..hope this was of some help.(magnet supplier)https://www.kjmagnetics.com

This link introduces the MakeMagazine channel at YouTube, but the main thing is just to show how easy vacuum forming can be since it has come up in this thread. The video is 5:36 in length and is titled "Weekend Project: Make a Vacuum Former": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5CGfoxnKaQ
That was interesting.... Neat idea..
Thanks,
