Vacuum table Setup Advice

[Boyan Silyavski]

Here is short video of the ebay pump. I went today to my friend and tried it. In Russian, we speak about the additional pieces and that obtaining the clamps from the seller is very important.. Now to have in mind that this is 7cfm pump at the same time only 0.37kw and very quiet. Its 3 phase so as you can see at the video. Definitely worth purchasing if sb is on a hunt for vacuum pump. All extra pieces are custom made.

Here is the vid in YouTube now.



The connection and bracket are named KF25. plenty of them cheap in ebay.

What you will need more for the system:
-outlet- additional bracket and oil trap filter for the exhaust oil vapors, which is basically a box with sponge inside
-inlet- at least another bracket and hose adapter. Inline air filter at least 5 micron, so no dust enters the sucker. Maybe cheap car fuel filter or sth similar. Liquid separator?
-2 capacitors so you can run it 2 phase. its 3 phase originally. One for start and other to run, see video.

additional notes:
-I don't see a reason for an air reservoir as the system will be very tight and it will take time to achieve pressure with big deposit. Switch on, use and then switch off. This pump has nothing to do with the cheap ones/similar price new/ sold at ebay with similar ratings in CFM, though i believe even they will work ok as here the purpose is not removing the last atom...
-digital vacuum gauge is recommended, though even a analogue will work ok. i don't see actual need for switch except to make some sort of bleed valve when certain vacuum is reached. hopefully there will be some smallish leaks in the diy seal anyway, cause that thing is a sucker.

I am very inclined to grab one. If you are even more patient next week i will go there again, so can try it with some improvised vacuum fixture and make video of it.

Looking good.!

It's good feeling knowing it's going to stay put and not turn into slitting disc if cutter jams or decide it doesn't like this cutting millarky so turns into flying saucer.!! . .
