Vacuum clamping is the easiest to way to hold an object for bench top routing and sanding. Vacuum clamps powered by a venturi or electric pump can generate up to 1700 lbs per square foot of clamping pressure without marring the work piece. This vacuum gasket tape is what makes the airtight seal between a vacuum jig and the work piece.
This high density on-board gasket tape is sold in 82 ft rolls. The tape is coated on one side with an acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive. The foam's 1/8" thickness assures conformability to a wide range of substrates, and its 3/8" width allows a tighter radius for small parts on a bench top vacuum clamping jig.
For many users, 82 ft length might be a lifetime supply since it often can be removed from smooth, non-porous surfaces and applied at least once more to another surface.
What Is it Used For?
This tape is typically used for basic bench top vacuum clamping jobs.
Features
Technical Data
What is the difference between the standard vacuum gasket and the templating gasket?
The standard tape is used for basic bench top vacuum clamping when profile routing, sanding, or carving. The templating tape is thinner and has less lateral shift, which makes it better for template and pattern routing.
Isn't this gasket tape the same as weather stripping from the hardware store?
It is definitely a different material. Weather stripping is designed to fill gaps and is generally not as resilient to frequent compression/decompression cycles. Our gasket tape is said to be 50 times more durable and designed for multiple hourly usage cycles.
