Declining health forces me to close down my wood turning shop. I am located in Pasadena, Md. between Baltimore and Annapolis. I would like to sell as much locally as I can before I consider shipping. The highlights with what I paid are: Laguana 1836-Near new. spring 2023 $3000 & shipping...

Hello everyone, Wanted to see if someone could give me a "sanity check" on something. Got my new vacuum pot in the mail today and was going about setting it up. Like expected, has a small hole in the top for the vacuum line/gauge to go through into the pot. It came with 2 steel washers and 2...

Ok all, this is getting ridiculous. We are on our 4th or 5th vacuum at this point. 4 of them have been JB's which are supposed to be exactly what we need. My guess is that we're still getting cactus juice into the pump some how, but I can't see it happening. These are lasting about 2 weeks at...

I am starting out in casting world. How much is a good vacuum to pull in a small vacuum pot. Same goes for pressure in a pressure pot; how much pressure is good enough? Thanks Munawar
