OK, I got a vacuum pump and I found a 1/2 gallon bell jaw at Fisher
for $42. I didn't see a base so I am wondering about making one.

I figure an aluminum plate would work fine. How thick of a plate
do I need for a 1/2 gallon bell jar? Is 3/8 enough or do I need
to go to 1/2 ?

thanks

If the 3/8 plate sucks up into the bell jar.....go to 1/2"

I should think the .375 would do the job.
