I have just purchased a new CNC. The CNC was available with a vacuum table but I have a couple of vacuum pumps that I have used for a veneer press and a vacuum chuck for my lathe so I decided not to get the vacuum table option. Doing more research, It looks like these pumps probably aren't the best for the amount of vacuum needed. My question is: has anyone tried using a 1/4 hp Gast vacuum pump for a CNC vacuum table? iI not what vacuum do you use?
The Gast pump is
The Gast pump is
- 1/4 Horsepower
- Pulls up to 26.5 inHg
- 4.5 cfm at open
