I would use the compressor setup to resolve all table, mat and fixture issues. Once i know that all functions and what exactly i need i would buy then the proper sized vacuum pump.

Jumping to buy the first vacuum pump seen is not a good idea. From what i see from the picture you are again on the wrong path.

You need a 2 stage low volume high pressure vacuum pump / but enough volume/ , no high volume low pressure vacuum pump. These are not the proper technical words may be , just to have an idea what i am talking about.

This is exactly the vacuum pump my friend bought from ebay. he is using it for a vacuum chamber. I am thinking of buying one also. It seems to me its up to the task as i have seen it in real life. Its a sucker. 7cfm.
Check all specifications again including electrical, ask the vacuum table dealer or manufacturer if its ok and buy that sucker. It will be extremely unacceptable new, just check price :-)
