Making a Vacuum Pump System: Andrew Pitts ~ FurnitureMaker

Vacuum bag clamping for woodworking and vacuum hold-downs for CNC require a vacuum pump. In this woodworking video, Andrew Pitts uses the instructions and some parts from JoeWoodworker.com to build a vacuum pump system that uses a GAST rotary vane pump. The vacuum pump will be used in making bent laminations of wood, wood veneering, and holding wood on the ShopBot CNC machine. These woodworking videos show how Andrew Pitts makes his fine custom furniture in his woodworking workshop in Virginia. He also often demonstrates new uses for his ShopBot Desktop CNC routing machine, and has included other useful videos such as how to photograph furniture.
