Top 4 Questions Woodworking Companies Ask About Vacuum Hold-Down Systems 1. How much money can I save with a vacuum system? Energy-efficient options like regenerative blowers with VFD technology or dry rotary claw pumps can drastically reduce operating costs. These systems minimize energy usage and require little maintenance, saving you time and money in the long run. 2. Why is vacuum hold-down better than clamps? Unlike clamps, vacuum systems provide consistent suction across the entire table, ensuring precision, safety, and efficiency. Ideal for tables over 3 feet, they eliminate product shifting for cleaner cuts. 3. Are dry rotary vane pumps a good choice? While they’re reliable, dry rotary vane pumps come with higher maintenance costs due to friction and wear. Modern alternatives like dry rotary claw pumps offer lower energy usage, fewer parts to replace, and improved efficiency. 4. What if I want to switch to a new vacuum technology? Transitioning is simple! We can assess your needs—table size, material, power availability—and recommend the best solution for your application.

At Republic, we pride ourselves on building that trust.
