I have a few uses in my shop for vacuum fixturing. The main thing that I'm getting hung up on is the use of weatherstripping. I CAN'T use Weatherstripping on one particular jig because the piece has to be absolutely flat to the jig.
Is there a way to get a good vacuum seal from the jig to the piece without weatherstripping?
I build electric guitars. I'm looking to use vacuum in some router templates as well as a sander similar to this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_TrjG2gTq4&feature=channel) (fingerboard Radius). This is where it's critical that the piece is dead flat to the template. I'm curious if there's a way to get a good vacuum seal without weatherstripping between the piece and the holder.
thanks!
