No more Gast vacuum pumps

[Jason Clark2]

After getting my own vacuum chuck assembled about a month ago and realizing just how invaluable it is I've decided to prepare a demo for my local club. "Setting up your own vacuum chuck on a limited budget".

It looks like Surplus Center finally sold out of the Gast G0522 vacuum pumps they've had for $54.95 (http://www.surpluscenter.com/item.as...-1669&catname=).

Anyone have another reliable source for a similar used pump?

Try Ebay I got mine there $125

[Tony Pridmore]

Jason, they're showing 29 in stock now.

I just ordered one.
Thanks for the update Tony,

If you don't insist on oil-less. HF has a 2.5 CFM oil, list is $90, but I paid $70. It will draw 24 inches at the head-stock

Item 98076

I got a 120 volt off ebay as well. I don't remember what I paid. I used the 'Lowe's DIY Vacuum chuck setup' that's out there. I think the isle numbers have changed since it was written, but other than that, it works quite well for what I paid.

Hummm. That pump is tempting (even though I really don't need another). But the shipping hurts. It shows 26 in stock now. Why do I have the feeling that they have all been sold to readers of this forum??
