iVAC Switch Box
The iVAC Switch Box is an automated dust extraction switch that activates your shop vacuum automatically whenever the power tool to which it’s attached is turned on. All you need to do is hook up the vacuum hose to your power tool. If you’re a do-it-yourselfer who enjoys tackling projects in and around the home, you’re probably aware of the dust and debris that even the smallest job can create. While a shop vacuum can go a long way in helping with clean up after the fact, did you know that most power tools – like miter saws, portable saws and sanders for example – feature a built-in dust collection port that connects to your shop vacuum? Unfortunately, most people don’t make use of it, and tend to “clean things up after it’s done”. In the meantime, dust makes its way throughout your home, is tracked by your footsteps, clogs up air filters, and can make life miserable.
The iVAC Switch Box is a simple to use automated dust collector that activates your shop vacuum automatically whenever the power tool to which it’s attached is turned on. All you need to do is hook up the vacuum hose to your power tool. With this easy-to-use dust collector switch, you’ll be amazed at how much cleaner renovation work can be. Dust and debris are collected immediately, extraneous airborne dust is mitigated and clean-up is much easier.
You’re work area will be cleaner and ensure a safer working environment as well. Because the iVAC Switch Box powers up immediately, it helps to clear out any debris that may be stuck in the power tool and that can become a dangerous projectile – however small – in certain conditions. The iVAC Switch Box automatically turns the shop vacuum on before you actually begin to cut materials, and will continue to draw debris while the power tool is running and for approximately 6 seconds after you turn it off.
Installation is simple. If you can connect an electrical cord, you can connect an iVAC Switch Box!
The iVAC Switch Box was designed specifically for the home, where typically only 115Vac services
are available. It is designed to control shop vacs up to 6.5 Peak HP and dust collectors up to 1 HP.
The attached power tool can be any type of 115V-15A power tool such as a light-duty table
saw, portable sander, dremel tools or miter saw. Tools that create airborne dust should be
connected to, and controlled by, our iVAC Switch Box.
