Nice! Vacuum is better than my Rusty T-Rex (that is what I call it because of funny sound those bottle jacks makes when I drop them down. Just like from Jurasic Park movie 
) I’ll try a vacuum and resin soon and se how it works for me.

Is your bag setup reusable? And does that pump hold a pressure? I made my first attempt using similar method but had a leak that i couldn’t get rid of now I’m looking for a vacuum that holds a certain pressure

yes, by cutting one side when finished you can reuse the bag. Yes pretty strong.
I use this one :
I should be able to find the box somewhere ^^ and take a picture if you need.

I will be investing in a vac setup once the cash flow kicks back in. Will help speed up and improve my fibreglassing shenanigans

Oh nice! I remember seeing on YouTube they they used like interlocking pipes to create a reusable seal. Not sure how difficult it would be to implement something like that… That’s a nice pump, it’s a little pricey

Wanted to ask : can this kind of CNC do carving? (Concave and all) or is it limited to flat cuts? I always see cutout videos, but never complex shapes

You can carve out the shape and curves on a cnc router. Stock, a machine like Mr legend’s will be limited in Z axis height I think stock the xcarve can fit only around 4” material under the gantry. You can lift it with plates tho.
Edit and you need a longer z carriage to be able to use the whole length of the extended height.
