Great job I would love to work a little bit with you, as I do the same job... But your work area is a brilliant place.. Also I see a lot ideas to realize in my work place Thank for that videos

OLD! LOL...Um...I guess a little old!

man...u are the MAN!! excellent brain of yours!

Nice looking and very practical.

Since you have extrusions already across your roller... mount a shorter stand and put your masking directly on the roller. It wastes less, as it unwinds itself right around the roll. Many of the "open top" designed laminator labels offer a roll holder for just that very reason. Mounting graphics or laying down masking. Also, you can add little double action pneumatic pistons to make the roller go up and down fairly easy, with just a few odds and ends, and an quiet compressor stored under the table.

Hola buenos días, me gustaría poder fabricar una para mí trabajo, pero no sé dónde poder comprar el rodillo, podrías por favor darme algunos datos para la fabricación. Muchas gracias, un saludo.

That is marvelous. I guess I've got a project ahead of me 😂 Awesome, thanks 👍

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

awsome set up!!! i need that roller set up in my shop. Maybe i can talk the boss into it

Wow that table is awesome Dave! I would love to come check it out sometime ! I’m not to far from you.

Hi Dave! great table appreciate you sharing the knowledge. Can the roller go up to mount 1/2" or 1" thick material?

Brilliant, thanks for sharing

amazing idea 👍

David, On your weeding table, how did you attach the 80/20 to each end of the laminator? I don't see hardware, did you thread the small holes in the side of the 80/20 or run all thread all the way through. Great table, building one but making the whole table a light table as well, using expanded metal for the magnetic aspect and still allow light to come thru. Please respond, Fred

Thats really nice idea

Wow great job

Hi Dave. Love the table. I built one almost identical to yours! I’m wondering if you sell the transfer paper roll holders? Or do you know where I can find something similar?

Outstanding!

I forgot to ask, can you apply vinyl to signs? How thick of substrate could you apply vinyl on to? Thanks

Hi Dave. Do you have any video or instructions on the modification of the laminator itself? I just purchased a 51” cold laminator and looking to do a similar setup what you have.

Thx for this video . Can I get the link to the linear rails and bearings as well as the 8020 aluminum

This seems to be similar to a torsion box. Did you have any issues in keeping the table flat and with no wind?

What an amazing table can I buy the stl file off you for the masking roll holder at all please ?

Can you apply vinyl with that roller on 1/2 inch MDO?

Hello Dave , What kind of material is that on your table , acrylic ? And do you also cut on it ? Turan

Hey Dave, I know this is an old video now, just looking for a quick response. If you are cutting/working on that Lexan, wouldn’t creases show up over time and interfere with premask and lam application, causing bubbles or ripples? By chance I have an almost identical table top so would entertain doing this. Thanks in advance Dave!

Great video. Do you recall how long the linear rails are? The longest I see on Vevor os 2200mm which is about 86.5 inches. Do you need to cover at least 8 ft?

What is the White Glossy surface you have on top of the table?

Very cool!

WHere did you get the thin metal sheets? That was a genius idea!! Great job Dave... 😃

Hi David, great info! Thanks so much. Questions? How thick is the metal sheet on your table? What brand/kind of mat are you using on the top of the table? Once again, thanks for this awesome video.

Where did you purchase the 48"x120" lexan?

Where did you purchase the rails? I’m trying g to make a table also. Thank you

Can I buy the masking holders?

Where do you purchase the masking tape table guides?

How did you cut the laminator in half? And the construction of the holder for it? I would assume you had to do some welding. That seems like the most challenging part of this project. I’ve been doing all of my vinyl application by hand and I really want to step up to a table with a roller on it, but I can’t afford a CWT table at 14 grand.

Don’t spend the money to build a table. All you need is a double roller laminator from Amazon. They cost about $400. You can get it at 54 inches. Set up a small bench or table at the end of your work table and set it up to where the laminator is level with the table. That’s all you need. I actually use that more than the roller connected to the table.

80/20 is a "brand name" of aluminum extrusion, like T-Slot is a brand name. It's based on the 80/20 principle of work/effort vs. output results. Has nothing to do with the metric size you might be seeing there on the screen. It's probably in fractional inches anyway.

Interesting... however, 48" wide table won't work for us... minimum of 60". Also, your rolling applicator... you need to evenly adjust both sides when making adjustments. A little tricky when you have to walk around the table. Works for you? All that matters ;)
