I have used a cheap Harbor Freight pump with a reservior tank and bleeder valve
for vaccuum bagging. It works ok, but the pump burns a lot of oil and needs to
to be well ventillated.

I found a cheap pump at Harbor Freight. They have two grades, the cheap one was
about $100 when I bought it about 4 years ago. Used it for checking altimeter
along with a bell jar I got from Amazon.

I have used a venturi as well for vacuum bagging. (I use a system meant for
laminating: https://www.qualityvak.com/air.html.)
I'm sure a true vacuum pump would get a harder vacuum, but for most purposes a
venturi works well enough.
Now, if you don't have a good air compressor, then a venturi is less appealing.

Guys in the know
I am going to be purchasing a vacuum pump in the near future and there seems to
be quite a few options.
I plan to use it for the following:
- degassing propellant for research motors
- vacuum bagging of composite laminates for fins and tubes
- testing of electronics in a chamber.
I am not necessarily looking for the best price. I am looking for a pump that
will meet my needs and not be something I need to worry about not performing as
expected.
Does anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks
Lee
