Vacuum Center Assembly (Accessory to our Circle Jig)

$250.00

Our Vacuum Center Assembly uses compressed air to generate a vacuum and creates a hold-down for our Circle Jig, (or our Ellipse Jig). It eliminates the need for drilling pilot holes and It requires 80 to 100 psi ; it draws only about 3cfm of air. This makes it ideal for shop or job-site applications where most portable air compressors (1 HP or more) can be used to power the venturi-type vacuum. This accessory provides the quickest and cleanest approach to circle cutting  and features a push-button interrupt that facilitates set-up alignment: four 90° marks are laser etched on the disc to match-up with your pencil drawn axis lines. Press the interrupt button for alignment, move the VCA to your desired location and release for vacuum attachment. The aluminum assembly provides the rigidity needed to cut flawlessly-clean circles in hard and soft woods, composites and plastics. See our router bit pages for selecting the best router bit for your requirements.
