Hi.

I am not sure if this is the right bit of the forum for this question but here goes anyhow.

I have acquired this pump. Pictures below.










Apparently they are used in the air conditioning industry for replenishing fluids or something. My friend had it as a backup for his vacuum pot but no longer needs it. He does woodturning stuff and uses a vacuum pot to impregnate epoxy into wood to stabilise it before turning it. He uses a very similar but slightly smaller pump.

My question is would this be suitable for use with a vacuum bed/ chuck for work holding on my cnc (once its operational)?
Thinking of this sort of thing. But I will probably try some HDPE because I have some.



If not I might be able to use it as a bagpress type thing. It looks similar to their smaller pumps.

Cheers

Ollie
