Would we be interested in getting a vacuum pump for the G8? Something like that: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231956551114 It costs £87 for the 220l/m 0.5kW pump + £10 postage. We will be able to do vacuum forming (if we get the received cylinder): {{:vacuum_forming.jpg?400|}} Vacuum plastic casting: {{:vacuum_casting.jpg?400|}} Vacuum metal casting: {{::casting-v-process.jpg?400|}} We should also be able to make mirrors with vacuum evaporattion of metals, plasma-treat surfaces, and do other interesting vacuum projects.
