Shapeoko Vacuum not working

Hello,
I came in to use the Shapeoko 3 today and noticed that the portable “bucket head” vacuum was not working. It does not turn on. I tried it on two different plugs. I do not have the skillet to repair something like that.

I think this should also be tagged @Team_Machine_Shop, and in the Issues & Requests category.

To @dmswt1, it might help to get your green dot, that will allow access to that thread.

I don’t know when I’ll be at DMS and able to look in at it. It’s a regular vacuum though and anyone is welcome to do so. Folks can also use any other vacuum in it’s place.

We replaced that vacuum head earlier this year.

@jeffhess looked at the vacuum - it had a bad switch… he was able to bypass for now… you just have plug the vacuum in in order to use. He will get the switch ordered…
