Hi JAZZCNC . thanks for the reply . really appreciate the advice .... i deffo need a vac table to hold down the material so it dont move or slip when been cut .. i did think of trying to buy a kit and goin from there . although to be fair i dont know about these things so dont actually know where to start . all i know is my rolls of pvc are 1500mm wide so i would need a roller on one end to put the roll on and then pull it over the bed turn on the vac and press go . all sounds easy yet know its not gonna be like that for real ... i did ask merchant dice about it some time ago and they said for a 5ft x 10ft cut with a knife and a roller on the end was gonna be 13k... so after i picked myself back up off the floor i thought ok now what do i do . lol ... i have much to learn . will call ya at some point for a chat .. regards Daz

Ermmmm I'll save my reply towards this for the phone other wise I'll be in trouble again. . .

Your needs with PVC and Thin knife cuts won't be too much of a problem really. There'll be hardly any loss of vacuum so won't need high Vacuum.
I've had involvement in a much larger machine that cuts rubber sheet for inflatable products, Life Boats, air bags etc using such system that just uses industrial Vacuum cleaners for hold down. (Like Henry's) and it works fine.

It can be that easy you just push Go and won't need to cost the earth. But it can be just has easy to buy the wrong stuff and make life harder or more costly than needed so do ring me for chat before buying or commiting to any thing.
