Vacuum Table Progress

Not as much progress as I was hoping to make this summer, but the vacuum table has come along nicely.

The silicone sheet is from https://deerhunter.en.alibaba.com/produ … 6999FCz38s – the DH2211 material 1mm thick. Seems like it will work well

for the top frame of the press – I used openbuilds.com aluminum extrusions 40mmX20mm and attached the silicone by pressing finishing strips into the grooves with the silicone sheet. The hinges and latches are from amazon/lowes.

the vacuum pump piping/fittings are from veneersupplies.com

here’s some update photos:

It pulls a pretty good vacuum!
