    At this point the third generation of grabo should be called the “Izzy”
    Because of you, my dad bought me one of these due to my business, throwing a bunch of sheet goods around. He thought it would definitely help. He got the idea from you brother. And it has been a lifesaver in the shop. I actually only two of them now, it’s amazing what possibilities open up when you have two of these.

    I love that they are open to collaboration with others. Too many companies lock down the ecosystem so they get all the profit. Effectively crowd-sourcing accessories is a genius business move.

    Back in the early 80s, I used a very, very similar item in the mobile home industry for moving sheets of floor decking. It hooked up the compressed air system. Apparently, the same idea is just different. If memory serves me right, it was an approximate 15" disc which handled 14' x 8' custom sized panels.
    I thought back then! Wow, if there was a way to make one to use as it is nowadays.

    I’m currently working on drilling multiple holes in a long, wide board that would benefit from having something similar to your prototype for the drill press on a Grabo. I don’t want to be putting 80 pounds of force on something that is fine furniture, but the drill press can be nearly prohibitive since it’s capacity can be easily exceeded by what I’m doing. Consider making perfect holes in a 4x8 sheet of (furniture grade) plywood. The drill press would be perfect for what I’m doing.
    Another would be to develop a track saw system for the Grabo.

      @izzyswan  Před rokem +1

      The battery lasts about 90 minute of continues run time. as for the seals replacement is need when the seal wears out that time changes depending on the material the Grabo is being used on. we have seals that are 2 years old that are in really good shape but we use them on plastic and sheet goods. We have replace a couple seal that were being used on stone and rock because the surface is much rougher.

    I've looked into these, but for a home shop? It's a 100% no go for me, just can't justify that $200+ price tag for something I'll very rarely use in my shop. Don't get me wrong, it's a cool thing, and a great evolution of the old piston powered manual suction cup.
