klutes Report post Posted October 18, 2019 I thought I would share how I built my vacuum table. Tired of sniffing glue! It is about 24” by 40”. There is a chamber so to speak on the bottom side of the table. Basically I took. 1-2 inch planks and boxed around the opening and screwed a piece of plywood on the bottom of it to create a chamber or boxed in area. Hope that make sense. The box is about 8 inches by 18 inches closer to the front side of the table where I will be sitting. I bought a shop vac and hooked the suction hose to center of the plywood on the bottom of the boxed in area. Be sure to use a shop vac with 2-21/2 hose diameter to get more air movement. The one I use has 120 cf of air movement. I ran the hose through the wall and placed the shop vac it the garage area of my shop. This gets the noise in the other room. Use a vac with a discharge port. This way you can run a hose off of it the the outside. I am going to put a dryer vent through the wall to hook up the discharge hose to. I then placed a sheet of 1/4 inch peg board on top of th e table. I can set a lighter a few inches from the opening in the table top and it will pull the flame horizontal to the vacuum being created. It works really well. No more fumes. Hope the pictures help explain it. The darker area of the table top is where the chamber is underneath. Hope this all makes sense for you.
