I wanted to see if my idea for a tap into a cylinder would work, and or be vacuum tight, so I built a little vacuum chamber......
15cm pipe and fittings, and my rotary vacuum pump
This is what I made the closed end up from, one cap, and two fittings, with a sealing washer, I also used Teflon tape on the threads.
Here we are done, the one end unscrews for easy access.
As you can see, the pump sucks this hose flat in seconds, dunno if they is going to be a problem or not
It seemed to work just fine.
I'll be using it for stabilizing pen blanks etc.
Cheers!
