Vac-Form Table Question

[Rinzler]

Hi All!

Making a vac-forming table, what is a good wattage to do a decent vac formation, I don't want something too strong that damages the original piece or the other way is too weak and makes a bad form. Got a Dyson with 220 Air Wattage.

I think that depends on a bunch of things.
The size of your tabel.
The material thickness.
The complexity of your piece.

I did some test with my normal vacuum.
But my setup is fairly small.

just my 2 cent though...

Hoping to work with 1.5-3mm styrene or perspex and the table I am looking at making is only going 900mm-600mm (to begin with), complexity is simple (helmets)
