The SP & SPX Series – The “Standard” for Vacuum Presses

Written by Mark Cowdell 

The SP Series and now the deluxe SPX platform have been the flagship vacuum press for Vac-U-Clamp for over 25 years.  Made in the USA, this versatile vacuum press is well suited for any operation where vacuum is needed for laminating/forming and veneering applications.  Designed with production, durability and quality in mind, the SP Series is made from welded steel and aluminum at our factory in San Diego County, California.  Most popular sizes are 5×10 and the 5×12 but larger sizes are available if needed.  Includes oil-cooled vacuum pump, silicone or poly membrane, baltic birch platen & lower shelf, timer, bleed system and vacuum gauge.  Custom sizes are available also.

The SP Series vacuum press is a workhorse & center piece for any pro woodwork shop, school/college, serious privateer or anxious novice; Not to be confused with the cheap DIY or overseas extruded aluminum tables that won’t last.
