Most materials which are typically cut on the Tensilsaw generate a great deal of dust. Tensilvac is ideal for removal of much of that dust as the material is cut. The Tensilvac system includes a 5 gallon canister, and the slots machined in the control area and table surface, to remove a majority of the dust and chips created during the cutting process. Additionally, the Tensilmist can be installed on the Tensilsaw where a mist of water or oil would be advantageous in cutting strips. Tensilvac and Tensilmist must be ordered with the Tensilsaw for installation during fabrication; retrofitting to an existing machine is done only at extra cost.
