I went back and reread what I said and not sure what your getting at, I have used a vacuum table and still use one, but not with a household vacuum or a food processor, I do think the food processor would draw more vacuum than a house hold vacuum, but when I decided that I was going to attempt it I knew that I was going to need the largest pump I could afford or there was no point in attempting the process. Carguy if you keep an eye open on craigslist you might be able to find an automotive type pump that is for sale and or gather up a harbor freight coupon for 20% off and save up and buy one of there pumps, that along with the bag system you should be able to rig something up that can be used an put away when not in use. Take a look at Adams leather utube video and his use of one that is the system your wanting to put together.
