several folks from the NG have asked me for a 110V vacuum pump - I was just able to pick up one pump that is in a nice enclosure - it's a commercial fume extraction pump that is used as part of a soldering station - it pulls
23 inches of vacuum which is plenty for all but the smallest turnings - if you are interested, please navigate to my web page (below) and click on vacuum pumps - this new one is the first one shown in the table. Shipping will be $20 to $30 by UPS ground. Since it was designed to sit near a user, it is pretty quiet - you will need to add a filter (I have these) to it of course, and I'd replace the sound deadening foam inside since it's getting soft and sticky (I removed some of it, but not all) - once foam rubber goes bad and gets sticky, it gets all over everything and makes a real mess. Cosmetic condition is good, not perfect, and there is a crack in the outer sheath of the power cord (I wouldnt' bother replacing it)- posted
