BIS website shows the SE2 in stock.No idea if that is accurate.
I just ordered SE1 and SE2. I couldn't find pump for sale anywhere... but thanks to FOG members I can use different pump to work with it. -Upon reading this thread, looks like "Vaneer Excel 3 Pump" works with SE units. Is this the site I can make purchase? (https://www.veneersupplies.com/products/Excel-3-Continuous-Run-Vacuum-Press-System.html) -Is "Excel 3" 120V? or 240V?-Is "Excel 5" too powerful? it's 5.0 cfm.-Thankfully one of the member in this thread listed extra parts I will need for the setup. Is there any instruction video or steps I can follow for setting up SE1 and SE2 with this pump?I can't wait to use them for my shop and thanks for making this work guys!
...Connecting the Vacsys setup is no different. 100% Plug-n-Play.

Forgot to mention these Excel pumps are super compact, quiet and light weight. Little Pocket Dynamo..

Total cost of SE1+SE2+Pump came out similar to Set combo from Festool. Now I'm all set with Festool collection! (yeah right...)Thanks so much for your help! Would you mind if I reach out to you when I have any question setting them up?
Have confidence, my dude. You have everything you need to figure out how to do this yourself. Once the parts are in front of you it will become quite obvious.

I deal with small wood crafting many times. Smallest I see for alternative head is 200mm x 60mm.

Smallest I see for alternative head is 200mm x 60mm.Make your own adapter from some plexiglass, phenolic or sealed MDF. The bottom of the adapter fits whatever head you want to use while the placement of the foam weatherstripping on the top of the adapter mimics what ever small piece you're crafting. A hole in the middle of the adapter completes the task.
You'll have to make up your own hoses and fittings but yeah you can connect whatever vacuum pump you bought to any vacuum clamp. https://www.veneersupplies.com/products/Podz-Vacuum-Clamping-Jigs.htmlThese are 4"x4".You just need a way to couple from european high flow fitting (on the pump), using a quick connect, to whatever hose you adapt to work with the clamps.

I received the pump, SE2, and accessory kit, but not the SE1 and MFT clamp. I emailed BIS asking if I would be receiving the SE1 with foot pedal, and if not, what is their return policy. I have not heard back from them yet. My order was placed on 12/21/21.

SE2 + Footpedal in exchange for the Missing SC1 , instead of walking away and returning the entire thing.
Smart move for $50 the 5 will help with more porous wood with 2 heads and if you ever start vacuum bagging it will help draw down the bag faster. Depending on the size of the bag it can take a bit.
just FYI those compressed air fittings are not really made for vacuum and most likely will leak. You will probably never notice since I think that pump just runs all the time and has no automatic cut off as is. The quick connects joe sells have been the best. Zero leaks after about a month of use. The ones he sells I believe are made for mold injection. I tried finding a source and the only place I could find was more than he sells them for. An automatic pump is handy when bagging. I sometimes put something in the bag at the end of the day and leave it till the next morning. Having a pump that cycles on and off automatically allows this. He also sells everything you need to convert it to monitor and make it automatic if you ever decide too.

Depending on the size of the bag it can take a bit. Just received Excel 5 and assembled it! I haven't received my SE1 or SE2 yet, but would this be the way I setup for them? I plugged in male plug I got separately. I haven't tightened them since I wasn't sure.
