DIY Vacuum Clamp MKII | Vacuum Workbench Clamp | DIY Vacuum Suction Pad - Made Without CNC!

This video is a follow up to my previous one on DIY Vacuum Clamps. In this video I have tried to capture a different approach when it comes to making these the second time around. I have demonstrated another method purely done in my workshop without any CNC machine to achieve the much needed groove in these suction pads to accommodate the round rubber seals used. These suction clamps/pads that I have made work well with the use of a small suction pump bought online together with a foot pedal which diverts the air when you need to release your material from the suction pad. They are made from lightweight PVC board (dense plastic board) which is easy to work with.
