PRODUCT INFORMATION

Vacuum Clamping System f

Each of the accessories for the Vacuum Clamping System shown on

page 16 depends on one thing to produce a vacuum—a venturivalve MUFFLER

that hooks up to an air compressor.

The venturi valve we used is part of a kit that includes everything ^ you need to hook up a vacuum system except the air compressor. The kit comes with or without a regulator. (If you already have a regulator on your air compressor, you don't need another one.) We boughtofc kit from Woodhaven, a woodworking supply company, see margin.

* Vacuum Bag

A Vacuum Bag (page 24) makes it easy to apply veneer to a curved or flat surface. To make this work, you'll need to hook the bag up to a vacuum system. (For more on this, see page 16.)

Vacuum Bags are available from several mail-order sources, see margin. You'll also need a kit to connect the bag to your vacuum system.
