The Standard and Professional - 6 cfm
"...The number one choice of woodworkers
everywhere."
Since its introduction as the first practical vacuum veneer press, woodworkers have praised this original VacuPress model as a reliable performer. Today, it is still the number one choice of woodworkers everywhere.
An excellent entry-level VacuPress, as well as a dependable choice for the professional, this system handles the full range of veneering and laminating tasks with ease. Designed and thoroughly engineered to be a maintenance-free performer, the nucleus of both the Standard and Professional systems is a 1/3 HP 6 cfm oil-less rotary vane pump chosen for its industry proven performance.
The vacuum chamber has been specially plated to eliminate the possibility of internal corrosion -- an important feature when using water-based glues. A "repeatedly accurate" micro pressure switch guarantees consistent vacuum levels with an adjustable feature. This allows variable vacuum set-tings necessary for the various pressure needs of high elevation shops, curved work, and different glue types.
It also features a dual power switch for both vacuum pressing and vacuum clamping. In the press mode, the vacuum switch will automatically shut the pump off when the proper vacuum level is reached. In the clamp mode the pump operates continuously as a shortcycle hold down clamp for wooden parts.
The Standard VacuPress - utilizes flexible, durable 20 or 30 mil see-through vinyl bags that accommodate all types of flat and curved work. The 20 mil bag is for light duty use. The 30 mil bag is for more regular use by a professional shop.
The Professional VacuPress - uses a 30 mil industrial grade polyurethane vacuum bag which is highly puncture resistant and designed to withstand the rigors of heavy use by those who use their system regularly and demand professional performance from the bag. Polyurethane is a state-of-the-art membrane used extensively in high tech industries because of its durability. VacuPress Industrial Poly bags are so rugged that we warranty them for five full years against seam delamination and tearing.
Both the Standard and the Professional models can operate up to three bags with the addition of our manifold adapter.

"An excellent choice for those on a budget who still expect professional results from their press."
The Air Powered VacuPress is the newest addition to the VacuPress line. This model was designed with the same performance standards and attention to detail as our Standard VacuPress. It is an excellent choice for those on a budget who still expect professional results from their press.
The Air Powered VacuPress utilizes a venturi vacuum pump driven by standard compressed air. As the compressed air is forced through a limiting orifice in the venturi nozzle, the air pressure surrounding the high speed air stream is reduced, resulting in a vacuum. Vacuum Pressing Systems utilizes this simple and efficient principle of drawing vacuum as a cost effective method for veneering and laminating.
We use only "full flow", single stage venturi vacuum pumps for maximum vacuum draw throughout the entire vacuum process. This guarantees short evacuation time and low over-all compressed air usage, unlike mult-stage pumps that slow dramatically as soon as vacuum begins to draw.
This model features a dual power switch for both vacuum pressing and vacuum clamping. In the press mode the vacuum switch will automatically shut off the compressed air flow when the proper vacuum level is reached. In the clamp mode the pump operates continuously for holding down wooden parts.
Our Air Powered VacuPress is designed to be user friendly by incorporating a regulator for setting compressed air levels and a pressure and vacuum gauge to monitor performance. The vacuum switch is easily adjustable for setting vacuum levels, and our see-through filter jar provides easy access for periodic dust removal.
The Air Powered VacuPress utilizes flexible, durable 20 and 30 mil see-through vinyl bags that accommodate all types of flat and curved work. The 20 mil bag is for light duty use. The 30 mil bag is for more regular use by a professional shop. The Air Powered VacuPress can operate two bags by adding our manifold adapter.
