    Vacuum Panel Lifter

    I'm planning on building more than a few cabinets for my kitchen remodel with my CRP 96x48 CNC router. But I don't like hoisting plywood. So I built this lifter, I converted the Harbor Freight pucks to run off an HF vacuum pump. I'm pretty happy with the results. A complete build log is here: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-...lifter-for-yo/
