In a small job shop doing short-run work, where fast setup and a trouble-free machining process determine the job’s profitability, what is the effective way to hold thin, delicate parts? The answer Dan’s Custom Machining found is vacuum workholding. This video describes the use of quick-setup workholding using the force of vacuum pressure.

This video is the first episode of a new series from Modern Machine Shop, “The One-Person Shop.” Various technologies in tandem, new and old, enable a very small shop to function effectively, including the smallest possible shop — one employee. Episodes in this series will look at different technologies and practices valuable to productivity and profitability of a one-person machining business.
