Description
Design for a vacuum-operated soft mounting system for sanding, routing, polishing, etc of flat and near-flat materials. This is a simplified take on the Festool VAC SYS tool. Suits 45mm vacuum hoses.
The 'lip' and 'pad' parts should be printed in TPU or similar and are interchangeable to accommodate different workpieces. The pad is the primary interface device, the lip is only needed if you want to work on non-flat workpieces.

Disclaimer: If the shit hits the fan and your vacuum breaks because of the POOP, don't blame me.
