Neal Ferri of Quality VAKuum Products Inc. will demonstrate the use of vacuum technology in the woodshop and also host a Q&A session. Neal has been working with vacuum systems in the woodworking industry since 1991. Drawing on more than three decades of hands-on experience, this seminar provides a practical introduction to vacuum pressing and its many applications in the modern shop.
The seminar will cover the fundamentals of vacuum pressing, including an overview of the different types of vacuum systems and how they function. We will explore how vacuum technology is used for veneering and laminating, as well as vacuum hold-down applications for machining and assembly.
Attendees will see demonstrations of common vacuum sources, vacuum bags, and frame presses, along with examples of using vacuum as an effective hold-down tool. We will also discuss how vacuum systems are used across the woodworking and fabrication industries, from small custom shops to larger production environments.
The session is designed to be informative and interactive, with ample time for questions. Whether you are new to vacuum pressing or looking to better understand how to integrate vacuum systems into your workflow, all questions are welcome.
