What is a decent vacuum press for veneering and also has option of holding finished pieces to sand or band? I see vacupress brand and really like. Are there others that people like?
Thanks

vacupress are great... i have one of those, and also use my festool vacsys pumps for both bags and my vacuum press. all good options.
We use an Excel 5 from veneersupplies dot com. It does a good job on our 10' x 5' press. Im always rigging it up for some other function from automotive stuff to prepping sous vide. Really, they're relatively simple machines (small compressor with the pump facing the wrong way). It does 5 cfm and easily hold 25 inches. I often have to bleed it a little to avoid crushing web framed asslembies. In my experience, your bag press, table press, or clamp set-ups are much more consequential than the pump.
Vacuum Pressing Systems (Vacupress) is an excellent, reliable source. If you want to save some money by fabricating your own press look here https://www.veneersupplies.com/
