Better Vacuum Cups
Better Vacuum Cups represents the evolution of American manufacturing ingenuity applied to solving real-world challenges in CNC machining and fabrication. Founded by Mike McClaran in January 2005 and located in Chino Hills, California, the company emerged from over 26 years of hands-on experience in the CNC woodworking industry.
The company's product philosophy centers on practical innovation that serves working craftsmen:
- Modular design allowing damaged cups to be converted into half or quarter configurations
- Sectional rubber tops accommodating small parts on larger cups using gasket material
- Thicker rubber construction providing over 10mm routing depth before reaching plastic
- Integrated ball valve systems preventing dust contamination in vacuum lines
- Repairable design with groove-equipped rubber tops accepting foam gaskets for renewed sealing
All BVC products are proudly manufactured in the USA since 2005, supporting domestic manufacturing while maintaining quality control standards that meet the demands of professional fabricators. This commitment to American production ensures consistent availability and responsive customer support.
The company's expansion beyond woodworking demonstrates its commitment to applying proven technology across multiple industries. Better Vacuum Cups has successfully brought their vacuum cup technology to stone and glass fabricators, creating cups that are lighter in weight, easier to position, and provide holding power as much as double existing solutions.
