Festool Vacuum Pump Clamping System VAC SYS - System Components

Festool has discontinued its fantastic VAC SYS vacuum pump system, which uses uses a powerful vacuum pump, an assortment of rubber, no-mar clamping cups, and a easily positional clamp head to hold your workpiece without limiting access. A foot pedal frees up both of your hands to position the work until you are ready to lock everything in place and the entire apparatus is small, efficient, and easily portable.

The basic Vac Sys system consists of a pump, a clamp with a large, round, no-mar rubber clamping cup, hose, and foot valve. This is the starting setup. For odder shapes, and irregular surfaces consider the accessory set of three more rubber, no-mar clamping cups.

We do not have and cannot get any additional Pumps (#201064) so we cannot offer the system. If you can find this part, we still have other components. Once those sell out we will not be getting any additional parts.

Here is a description of why you might want to cobble together a system:
For regular work on flat surfaces where you need access to the edges of the work, for example routing edges, edge-banding, or flush trimming, the Vac Sys will allow you to easily and rigidly clamp on the face of the work leaving the edges free of interference. Some craftspeople will find that for really large, or curved objects having two clamping units makes the job that much more solid and that much easier. Both units operate off of the same vacuum pump and you can save a little by getting the Vac Sys System Set which contains the pump and round clamp head as before but also includes a second clamp and an rubber, no mar rubber clamping cup.
