I was hoping to start laying parts this weekend, but forgot about Easter so that was shot. I did find some time to get out in the shop and build a pump manifold. Its not quite done yet, but it is vac tight. Still need to take it into work and drill/tap some holes on the plug ends for vacuum line fittings and a negative pressure gauge.
I wanted to use my shop vac to quickly get the air out of my bags, so I mounted a ball valve and a vacuum cleaner port. Suck out the air, adjust the bag, then, just close the valve and turn on the pump. Takes a lot less time to pull out the air, and the high vac pump stays happy work wise.
The white box is a step up transformer, My Edwards is a 220v single phase, so this box does the wall voltage into 220 trick.
