Grabo vac plate

This product is way nicer than you can find on the description.

This goes for your entire site, you are not showing what you are getting very well. Explain what you are buying and separate the options and tell/show you the differences.

In this case I expected a 3d print and waited months to buy because it was 10 bucks worth of abs or whatever.. But is not just a 3d printed plate.. it is a laser cut plate with aluminum upper and lower layers. SAY that!! explain why yours is different.

Very nice product

Perfect fit for the DeWALT Grabo

Attaching the baseplate to the DeWALT Grabo is about as easy as it get — just slide the Grabo onto the baseplate. Attach a hose and you're ready to go. I gave it a 4 star because I feel the price is a tad on the high side for the product. But... I'm very glad I purchased it.

Works great

They work well, but it would have been nice to know ahead of time that these are 3D printed and the grabo baseplate uses 2 different styles of filament. Also the "rubber" washers seem to be 3D printed TPU. Just some quality concerns.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback — we’re glad to hear the product is working well for you.

Materials and manufacturing techniques are selected to produce the best end result for each component. Lightweight rigid materials such as ACM are used where stiffness and low mass are important, additively manufactured components allow for complex geometries and an iterative design process, and CNC-machined parts are incorporated where precision or structural requirements call for it.

The upper cleats are a multi-material construction, combining flexible and rigid thermoplastics to enable a smooth transition of the Grabo from a vacuum source to a vacuum lifting tool. The stiffener and feet are produced from glass-fiber-reinforced ABS for strength and long-term durability. The washers are made from TPU to meet specific sealing and wear requirements without relying on off-the-shelf components or requiring design compromises.

Every part is designed and tested with performance and reliability in mind, and we fully stand behind our products through our warranty and support process. If you ever have questions about materials, design choices, or need assistance, we’re always happy to help.

Thank you again for your support.
