Seems o.k. I mean, it's fairly easy and low cost to built yourself that type of vacu-form machine (depending of what you want to achieve of course).
Toaster oven will do fine for little project (as well as your normal shop-vac).
Big projects are a little trickier...but that's for another discussion |

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, guys... Always much appreciated! Yeah, the two major downsides are the the size and the price.... _________________ Monsieur, azonnal kövessen engem bitte |

Industrial machines are typically bigger. 'Course they cost more too, but the deal is you can always pull small parts on a big machine, but you gotta have a machine that's at least as big as the biggest parts you'll ever pull.
I think the cost is in line with a good machine, but again I wouldn't want a machine of this size. I'd need at least 16x20". Up to 36" would be even better.
Capability to pull thicker material is also a benefit. I doubt this one would do even 1/8". |
