    For fast operation I'd use a shop vac and a small piston pump in parallel with independent valves. I'd evacuate most of the air rapidly with the shop vac first. Then I will bring down the vacuum with the piston pump to a very low level. The piston pump does not remove most of the air.

    Which one do you recommend for thermoforming solid surface? Do you have a model with external controller so the pump can be hidden away and operated via an external controller.

    With thermal forming you want a pump that draws down fairly quickly before the material cools too much. I would suggest our HiFlo industrial 10cfm pump as your first choice and the Professional 6cfm pump as the second choice. If you would like to discuss this further feel free to give us a call at 800-382-4109

    Are these safe to use for a vacuum chuck on a wood lathe? I’m concerned the auto shutoff might kick in at some point and send the piece flying off.

    When using a vacuum chuck, we recommend running the pump continuously.

    What is the duty cycle on these units? I have an industrial hi-flo unit I'd like to use for workholding on my milling machines, but I'm worried I will burn it up with extended use.

    All of our units are thermally protected so they will shut off before any damage is caused to the motor. If you plan on running your unit for extended periods of time in the "continuous run" mode we would recommend removing the cover from the unit to allow for additional air circulation.

    Without being familiar with your PVC foil press I cant be sure of the right pump for your application. I think just a continuous duty pump may be best for you press.

    Nice explanation. Unfortunately the measurement units chosen are only used in one country in the world, the only one which has not completely wrangled itself loose from the former British Empire. Funny that the pumps themselves do use the SI system for pressure.
