Edwards Vacume Pump

Mike a great looking pump. I’d suggest that you get your vacuum veneering set up working. It’s a lot of fun.

Watch ebay at the moment things are sometimes going for next to nothing, practically getting stolen at those prices. Sorry but please becareful that’s even if you get a bid at least here in the uk that’s how it is. I have never seen things go so low. I saw an engineers lathe just like mine sell two years ago for Just over four thousand pounds almost new these things cost new aroung forty thousand last week the same lathe went for five hundered pounds sterling, some of the acessories were worth more than that alone . So just a friendly warning I hope it does well I had one much the same as yours left over from dental days and I got three hundred and fifty for it about five years ago,it was worth about seventeen hundred new.So anyway just be careful you don’t lose out.Alistair

Scotsman thanks for your information but I don’t have this pump listed on E-Bay and I don’t intend to, I only used E-Bay as an example for anyone who is not familiar with the quality of this pump, and what you say is very true. Right now it’s setting in my shed and I drought that I will ever use it for veneering as I planed. I rather sell it to a fellow woodworker that will put it to good use then to someone on E-Bay.

Thanks for the info drewskie..I planned on seeing if this pump was still available..and buy the bags and hoses from the veneersystems.. I know absolutely nothing about using one..and have done all of my veneering via contact cement and a roller..but I want to move up and learn to use the bags..I hear its just a lot better to do it that way..

So what do you want in money or trade. I got a crap load of everything. How about a good almost new Delta Lathe. I just picked up at an auction. It’s a Delta 1440 Bedstock. Has a rotating head about 40” in bed, only thing wrong is I broke the speed handle loading it to bring it home. Probably a 25.00 dollar part easy fix. Retails $800.00. Weight might be a problem. Weighs about 250 lbs.
