    Good afternoon.
    Would a vacuum pump work?
    Thx, rink.

    Good evening.
    It looks like you have another surface on top of your plenum grid board. Is that MDF? Did you shave off the surface on each side to help with the vacuum?

    Also, would a vacuum pump work well with this setup, in place of the shop vac?

    Thx, rink.
