Sticking with my usual way of building something -- I spend too much time thinking and buying all the parts -- only to have to do something else.
This then allows me to return at a future date to a big box in the corner of my shop that will contain ALMOST everything I need to do whatever I started out to make in the first place.
I unfortunately just found - through a link provided in my other thread -- pictures of what others have built as veneer presses and vacuum chucks. I do believe that some must work for NASA!!
Has anyone found a benefit to install an air tank (using PVC pipe!) for the chuck -- or do you just let the pump run. I would think that this would then require a pressure switch when used as a chuck.
I purchased one of the Gast 0253 units with a 110v 1/4 motor - I am just wondering if I should design in the ability to do some veneer work.
I may want to do it in 10 years or so :)
