Hello
Been lurking for a while. Got a question and thought short intro was in order. Not much to tell here. I started trim carpentry when you wore a cloth apron, had one box with 7-10 point saw, block plane, hammer,nail set, coping saw, odd essentials and a MF miter box. Now I have a 14ft trailer full of tools. (and still find I don't have all I need) I drag around the country doing installs for major retail operations. Times have changed.
My question is about mounting a vacuum pump. I picked up an almost new 220V Gast a year or so ago for 15.00 and been playing with it. I see lots of potential for it. I would like to know if I can mount it on a tank like a compressor and run a hose from it or pipe it in the shop like an air compressor. My main need is to know what kind of gauges and how are they set up on something like this. Do these have th epotential to collapse a tank. Just from using it, it doesn't seem like it would even though it does hold things tight :) Would I be able to "quick connect " it to jigs and fixtures.
Thanks
