In this instructable, I'll show how to convert a 12-volt "tire inflator"-type air compressor into a vacuum pump. This makes a vacuum pump suitable for vacuum bagging laminates and composites (like fiberglass), or for evacuating a tank for a small vacuum former.

A vacuum pump is just an air pump that you use for sucking rather than blowing. You can convert an old-fashioned "floor pump" ("bike pump") into a vacuum pump that can take over 75 percent of the air out of something.

WOODWEB's WOODnetWORK Forum - Message ... I'm trying to set up a vacuum bag system cheaply and have an old electric air compressor with a 1/2 hp motor fly-wheeled to a single piston. Would such a pump have anywhere near the power to create 1 atm. of suction assuming I rig it up properly with bag/fittings/seals?

you can also convert a 12V tire inflator type air compressor to a light-duty but high-vacuum vacuum pump, suitable for vacuum bagging composites and vacuum pressing laminates.

A vacuum pump is just an air pump, like a compressor, where you use the input side for suction, rather than using the output side for blowing. Many air compressors make good vacuum pumps if you can find the air intake, enclose it, and attach an appropriate hose or fitting.

Now the next issue is what is the best type and size of vacuum pump to use. First, there are 2 types you will come across. The cheapest is a venturi type that runs from your shop air compressor. A Venturi type are popular with the home mechanic crowd since they are cheap and easy to use.

Can I use the intake port on my air compressor to generate vacuum? ... The EVS system has a manifold, Mac valve, check valve and vacuum reservoirs which air flows through. These extra pieces slightly reduce the speed of vacuum flow into the pump.
