Sorry RyanGi... I hate reading and have enough trouble keeping up with threads I follow let alone read new ones.
Unfortunately I have little more to add than what we discussed... having the Fe$tool I really don't have the incentive to look at other vacuum systems... though that Podz looks impressive... but seem limited to tabletop use.
I got the GRABO for other uses than benchwork. It was the announcement that the Fe$tool VAC-SYS was being discontinued that I started playing around with the GRABO for the "benefit" of people that would like but now could not Fe$tool.
Other than that, it seems like you guys have the topic covered well above my think tank pay grade.
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
