Machine de formage sous vide compacte

I will admit; this was an impulse purchase due to a great sale price. I had some vague ideas about what I would use it for, and honestly expected my wife would be the heavier user, given her artistic direction
I am a woodworker, specifically in miniature, supporting architectural modeling.
Instead, I find myself using it frequently, making molds for a wide variety of things from decorative bricks, to sculpting 1/12th scale crown molding. Using styrene to create negative molds for silicon, it vastly shortens the time needed, with higher resolution. The machine is very well made. Cast steel, almost plastic free. I cannot see any potential for it to ever wear out. Well done!

A neat machine that fills a void for the hobbyist who needs a plastic vacu-former. I had been using a vacu-form box that required being put in my kitchen oven with my household vacuum as the suction. It was very unwieldy and didn't produce great results. This machine does it all! Very solid construction, and the internal vacuum is quite powerful. I haven't tried the ball bearings included for irregular shapes yet. I wish this machine had a timer for when the plastic is ready to "form" over the master, but I guess that's not feasible, with different thicknesses of plastic being used for different projects. So I have to do the trial and error thing, but I do walk away with a quality usable form. This is a great machine at a decent price. Definitely recommended!
