I have been working on a Vacuform table and was qurious if the height mattered that much when constructing.

Dimensions:
Length 18"
Width 11"
Height 11.5"

does that sound like it will work alright?

Too tall!

Why are you making it a foot tall.

i already had a wooden frame that would be perfect( or so i thought ) for a vac former. sounds like i need to trim it down but by how much?

Okay, totally misunderstood

I thought you meant that was the size of the mould

Just keep in mind than less volume in your box means less air that needs to be sucked out before it starts pulling on your plastic.
