Thread: Hobby Vacuum Former Machine.

Tweet

OK, I'm selling my Vacu-former machine. Asking $350 + Shipping. This machine has been used to make Hockey Masks for Kane Hodder, Jason Vorhees himself, and is now no longer needed.

So here's the details. The machine is 35" long, 21" wide, and 5 1/2" tall, not including platten. The Vacuum platen is 16 1/2" long and 10 1/2" wide, the holder will hold 11" x 17" sheets. It runs on standard 110 and has a 3 way switch with LED indicator to show you the element is on. There is an additional outlet on the side to plug your shop vac into and the 3 way switch operates that outlet. The power cord coming out of the machine has been cut and will need a pigtail attached.

On with the pics:

What can you do with it? Make Hockey Masks, Skeleton Masks, Tombstones, RC Car bodies, RC Airplane bodies, and the list goes on. Depending on thicikness and typle of plastic used, you can get a draw up to about 9" with this machine. Thicker plastics around 6"

Here is a video of a automated machine but gives you the right idea of how it works:
