I saw this vacuum pump in an advertisement from Harbor Freight. Would
this work for vacuum chucking or is it too small.

Bruce, I agree with Gerald that this one looks a bit weak.

Usually, vacuum kits come with Gast pumps and Surplus Center has one for
$30.00 less than the HF model you are looking at. The down side is it is
230volt.

I have one of these, hooked to a home built vacuum chuck (maybe $20.00 in
the chuck) and it works like a champ.
