iVac Automatic Vacuum Switch Box

The iVac Automatic Vacuum Switch Box makes dust collection as easy as turning on your power tool. This intelligent switch box automatically powers your plug-in vacuum or dust collector on when you start your tool and off six seconds after you stop — so you never forget to run dust collection, and you protect your lungs from harmful fine particulate. It's a smart, affordable entry point into our automated dust collection range.

Automated dust collection your lungs will thank you for

Fine shop dust is a serious long-term health risk, and even a "quick cut" releases thousands of harmful particles into the air. The iVac removes the temptation to skip dust collection: turn on your tool and the vacuum starts automatically; turn it off and the vacuum runs six more seconds to clear airborne debris, then shuts down. A three-position mode switch (Auto–Off–On) also lets you run the collector continuously for cleanup.

How it works

The switch box senses when your power tool draws current and switches the dust collection system accordingly. A turn-on delay of 0.5 to 2.0 seconds helps avoid power surges, and the six-second turn-off delay clears the hose and air. It mounts easily to a wall for convenience.
