one extra tip… stay away from AC-HVAC loading pumps… they are cheap and put out a very strong vacuum, but they spit out an obnoxious cloud of oil mist! Look for graphite vanes dry pumps or oil recirculating ones. The reservoir helps but is not necessary if you have a good duty cycle pump and don’t need to do 12hrs glueups.
As vacuum is widely used in manufacturing, be on the lookout for used ones, you can find pretty good deals, and there not much that can go wrong with a pump that cannot be fixed.

For laminating the CFM doesn’t really matter, since when the bag is under vacuum there is almost no air to pull. It’s more important to look for a higher vacuum level. 1-2 CFM is plenty.
It’s different if you are doing workholding for cnc, especially on bigger parts, where you need the pump running in continuous.
I have used a 1.2 cfm pump for years with good results. Now I found a bigger one, and it definitely has more headroom, but not strictly necessary.
I hope this helps.

I actually contacted both Fender and Schaller. The issue is that those are older models and the current ones don’t have the ferrule and screw, it’s a different fit. So neither have spare parts 🙁

Thanks James but it would make more sense to get it made locally
