Do any of our OLF sponsors sell a vacuum clamping system, particulary the type used for glueing braces? I know LMI has one but I'd prefer to buy from a sponsor if available. I don't think I've seen any of our sponsors advertising one. If not, are there any other suppliers? I'd like to buy a completed system if possible as opposed to buying the components and building myself. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

John

If you haven't checked out joewoodworker.com yet, you're in for a treat.
Great site & good prices on vacuum equipment.
If you're on a budget, you can use a refrigerator or freezer compressor instead of a "real" vacuum pump. I use two old freezer compressors in my rig & it works very well. The recovery time is a bit slow with only one compressor.
The only place i was able to find soft rubber sheet suitable for a clamping press was LMI. And... No, none of these guys are sponsors.

I have gotten sheeting from McMaster Carr.

it is ~1/16" thick. It works great.

I bought mine from VacuPress, which is a great company to deal with.
