| Can you convert/adapt a compressor to be a vacume pump |

I used a refrigerator compressor for a number of years. To handle the spitting of oil I routed the discharge line through a container to catch it. When there was an ounce or so collected I would suck it back into the unit via the suction line. That is the way that oil that migrates through a refrigeration system gets back. Joe |

If what you are up to is vacuum bagging, take a look at this site. GREAT info. http://www.joewoodworker.com/veneering/welcome.htm Look at the vacuum venturi systems too.... they use air pressure through a venturi system to suck out air and create vacuum. My experience is more with vac forming machines. I got lucky when building my big machine and scored a 21 CFM (!?!) 2 stage vac pump off Ebay for peanuts so I have plenty O suck. LOL, Harbor Freight also sells a cheap vac pump that is quite servicible that commonly goes on sale for under $100. http://www.harborfreight.com/25-cfm-vacuum-pump-98076.html |

The motor Suzuki rg500 square 4 completly rebuilt at a cost of £2k The frame is an Aprilia rs250 lots of modifying to get the engine to fit but the end result is pretty good Just about to strip it down and prepare for painting this is the final scheme. |
