Large-Format Vacuum Pod

SYS-GRP BenchGrip Maximus Vacuum Pods

$38.00 USD Taxes & shipping calculated at checkout

Minimus handles small parts; big panels need more contact. Maximus is the large-format pod — three times the coverage on the same 96 mm dog-hole pattern, with the footprint and force to hold wide stock through the cut. Standard, Offset, or paired with a Minimus for mixed work.

SYS-GRP BenchGrip Maximus Pods deliver roughly three times the workholding capacity of Minimus Pods — native to the standard 96 mm dog-hole pattern on MFT-style benches, with additional mounting options for demanding setups. The 90 mm × 185 mm footprint puts broad contact area under larger workpieces — coverage for panel work and heavier-duty operations on the same bench grid.

The decision is mounting and mix. Standard Maximus covers most bench setups, Offset Mount relocates the holes for extrusion clearance, and the Dual Bundle adds a Minimus for mixed-size coverage.

SYS-GRP BenchGrip Maximus Vacuum Pods

Great Quality

The products are all well made and of high quality. I am confused by the holding devices that I thought would fit in a 20MM hole but it doesn't. My table is set with 20mm holes on 4" centers and the holding devices seem to be on a different pattern.

Don - All of our products are setup to integrate with the standard 96mm on-center dogholes used on a wide variety of workbenches and work systems. There is some allowable tolerance to address small variations of the on-center measurement, but an additional 4mm is probably outside of this tolerance.

Good upgrade for my vacuum pump

Work holding with clamps while sanding or routing is fine but inconvenient. I decided to try the maximus-minumus pairing. Liked them so much I bought 2 more and other products.

Really appreciate you sharing this — once you move from clamps to pods, it’s hard to go back. Glad the Maximus/Minimus combo clicked for you and that the system earned its way into the rest of your setup. Thanks for the continued support!

The new way for holding your project materialsI

I absolutely love my SYS-GRP vacuum pods I recently received from Forged 3D. I needed the ability to hold material for edge banding with my Conturo and regular clamps were cumbersome and time consuming. Along comes the vacuum pods from Forged 3D. They are easy to set up and did a fabulous job of holding my materials. So much so I placed a second order for a minimus and maximus combo set.

Brett - Thanks so much for the thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear the SYS-GRP pods are making your edge-banding workflow smoother... That’s exactly what we designed them for. The Minimus and Maximus combo adds even more versatility, so you’ll be ready for just about anything. Appreciate the support and the second order!
