I've been eyeing this system for years and conclude that its the best clamping system on the market.

That would be pretty sweet! Not too much space and would really cut down on the other clamps you typically keep around.

This looks like an affordable, low cost system.

I know. I like that press. They also make a really nice vacuum clamp lift table. At the end of this video-

Theres a lot to consider with a system like this. Shop space is the most expensive tool I own and the Multipress offers a small footprint for the capacity. Another strong benefit is time saved in complex clamping and the increase of quality in the product. Another strong benefit is not having to bend over which saves the body. If you can lesson or eliminate un-needed stress on the body you will save in dollars and unwanted time off.
That being said I'm not one to shy from cost if theres a strong benefit in the long run. I've got a long career ahead and I'm planning for the future.

This looks really interesting. Unfortunatly I cant find a supplier in the Uk to get an idea of cost.
Jalvis I would love to see some more pictures of your clamping rig esp if they are action shots!
Also I just wanted to say I had a look at your instagram. You make some really great stuff and the way you document it is great. The fact you take pride in your work shines through big time. Any more pics of your shop and work would be great. Just wanted to show some appreciation from afar!

Thanks for the compliments.
My clamping set up isn't any different then anyone else. K-bodys and a flat surface. Although I do have a Plano set for panels which is nice at times. Eventually when I have more space intend to have some dedicated space for vacuum clamping but time will tell as to when.

I wish!
For now I wait. When you set up shop theres so much thats needed its overwhelming. In fact its the part I hate the most about this profession. I can see why most shops are generational or have large investment capital.
