Vacuum set up with Air tank or Compressor
I wanting to try some vacuum bagging and saw where some use an air compressor or even an air holding tank.
Can I get some web sites or ideas how to make this work? I really don't want to spend the money for all the other stuff since I have both of these units. I pretty much have the rest of the info and supplies...just need a good suction device.
Thanks

I've seen vacuum generators on http://www.fiberglast.com under Vacuum Bagging Equipment. I bought a vacuum pump thru www.grainger.com for cheaper than the other fiberglass online sites. Hope this helps....

If you already have an air compressor, go with the vacuum generator for about $100. I'd rather go with a new/slightly used vacuum pump on Ebay for about the same price though. That's what I did.

I guess I am aasking more about how do I convert my air compressor or air tank to use it for bagging.
Maybe the refriderator cpmpressor is the cheapestt set up I may be able to find. I'm just tinkering and looking at one for doing dome model Glass boats.
Thanks for any help.
