Vac Forming can i use this?

Post by XPCportables » Sun Oct 02, 2005 9:15 am

i read a vac forming table building guide that told me to use a 6 horse power shop vac. i was wondering if a 2 horse one would be enough power.

I suppose it all depends on the detail needed in the design, the higher the detail you want the more suction you need (I think)
