Just wanted to say thanks very much to all those who have contributed to the Vacuum Fixtures threads. I have been using small "disposable" aluminum fixtures to do a lot of plastic parts and it has been working great. It typically takes less than 10 minutes to make a fixture. Some of these thin, flat plastic pieces were otherwise very difficult to do using conventional methods.

 

I have been using the 1/8" EPDM Sponge Rubber Cord (P/N 31944622 from MSC). It even works nicely to "stop up" holes in the pieces so that you can maintain vacuum.

 

Once again - thanks for the inputs! cheers.gif
