I'm working on a project where I'm resawing veneers about 12" wide and planing to ~1/8" thick, with the intention of laminating the veneers on both sides of a 1/4 or 3/8" substrate to build up a 1/2 or 5/8" panel.
Not sure whether I can effectively get this done using clamps only, or if I would get better/faster results with a vacuum bagging system. Already have the vacuum pump, so it's not a huge cash outlay to get set up with a bag - but if it's not necessary, I probably won't go to the trouble. I've done a little bit of research regarding the use of vacuum bags but really don't know much about it at this point.
Appreciate any advice that might get me pointed in the right direction!
