vacum table

[hugocacola]

hello all, i have smi-finished my vacuum table , is small but strong enough to hang a woodcore and base material.

its madded from 2 sheets of mdf with air rails on it and perforated 2mm holes.. and funny part is that what is making vacuum is a motor from a vacuum cleaner )) those ones from home but powerful... and i have a movies and photos from it but my machine is out of batery.

when i show you the movie you can see that the vacum table is not completely finish and sealed...even not totally finish its power for base die-cut and profiling instead double side tape ( expensive shit)..

looking forward...

best regards

most of the stuff i pick it from junkyard and recycle it ))) recycling is nice and cheap...

I hope encourage some of you and help with my ideas.

Thanks to all

you built that whole huge sander yourself for just 50 EUR?!
could you give a description of how this thing actually works and how you put it together.

[hugocacola]

Did you build the CNC yourself or just the table and vacuum table? Nice work. You are a smart and resourceful dude.

[hugocacola]

yes i were the cnc builder... and the vacuum table...

thnks

[chrismp]

haha, i see. your whole self built press and cnc got me a little confused
but an angled picture of the edge bender would be cool. i guess youre just using bearings spaced with a thin washer, right?
