It’s 240 volt. I read about it from a guy on an R/C forum Bagging Wings and such. It seems to be a good deal for a new vacuum pump from a reliable manufacturer. It sure beats the 327 for the robinaire pumps that I’ve been eyeing on ebay. For less than 200 bucks including the step down transformer I could have a pretty decent vacuum pump right?
What use are you planning to use this for? VIP, Vacuum bagging (wet lay up or Pre-preg?)?
What HP is it?
It looks like a dry vaned Gast? We get 25" of mercury on my classroom one…
There was a Sciencetic something in Chicago that was a large surplus place the last time I was there…many moons ago…
We use that same pump at work. It will pull full vacuum quick. For less than 200 I would buy that in a second. It is pretty loud though.
It’s a gast 1/3 hp rotary vaned. It’s only 89 bucks plus 50 for the step down transformer to convert from 220 to 110. Shipping from surplus center can be a little high, but it looks heavy duty.
