Subject : Compound curves with vacupress?
Posted : 2002-10-19 8:58 PM
Post #29488

I've been reading some of the old messages and it sounds like people are using the VacuPress for compound curves. When i first began using the "shop" vacupress i was under the impression that this wasn't possible. I'm unable to run experiments now. Can someone please elaborate on the successes of producing compound curves, for example depth and scale? If i decide to invest in a vacupress for my home shop which model would work best for "light" compound curve work. Would i need to step up to the Professional?any info or examples would be greatly appreciated.-D-

Doug,Yes compound bending and veneering can be done but not to extremes. Each project has to be looked at individually in my opinion. There are no set parameters that I have found to go by. Pretty gentle generally. You really have to experiment. If you have a specific project in mind I would be happy to evaluate it for you.SincerelyDarryl Keil: I've been reading some of the old messages and it sounds like people : are using the VacuPress for compound curves.
