This custom 12x12x1.25 inch vacuum press is perfect for the small business owner maker that is transitioning to vacuum forming or needs to add a new method versus the book press method.
This press does NOT include the Vacuum Pump but does include the quick connect tube that will quickly connect your press with the vacuum pump of your choosing. Simply connect and begin vacuum forming Kydex in all sizes Holsterbuilder offers.
Also suggested would be to obtain a 12×12 picture frame to seal your material once forming occurs

Today was my first day with this press and overall it is really slick. I also use the neoprene foam with the press so I dont have to use a huge piece of kydex. The price on the press is really fair and I am confident I will be picking up at least 1 more here in a few weeks so I can have two going at once and speed up production. I spoke Holster builder today and learned that the press will only be made in the yellow configuration, which I wasnt completely sure of since the hole is straight down in the middle. I picked up a 90 degree 3/8 fitting and made a small box for the press and now its easy to move around and use in the garage or the kitchen (since its 100 degrees here now) I also increased the hose size to 3/8 and got more suction power. I am not sure if thats needed if you were going to use straight kydex instead of the foam as the seal. I cut some ply wood into a 12×12 square for the press and it seals up really tight.
This is a fantastic press and at a fantastic price! I cant wait to add more drones and different backers to see just how good I can get the definition. Awesome!
