I have yet another plea for help. I wrote earlier asking for advice/suggestions/recommendations on Oneway's Mega Jaws. Many who replied suggested going the vacuum chuck route instead. Which, of course, I'm now considering. I happen to have a vacuum pump made by Festool for their vacuum clamp system(VAC-SYS,) and am wondering whether it would be suitable? Here are the specs:
Technical data
Vacuum pump VAC PMP Volume flow (air) max. 124 cu.ft./h (3.5 m3/h) Current 2.5 A End pressure abs. 150 mbar Motor speed 3300 rpm Ambient temperature range 41°F-104°F(5-40°C) Ambient pressure Atmospheric pressure Weight 20.4 lb (9.25 kg)
I'd use Oneway's chucks and adaptors, but am hoping this pump will suffice. Can anyone tell me whether it has the correct, safe pumping capacity?
Thanks again!
