Default such a deal - 1/3 hp gast vane type vacuum pump

usually wood turners want oilless pumps - I picked up a GAST 1/3 hp vane
type pump, but it is not oil-less - it has an exhaust filter that traps oil
that exits the pump, so this should be no major issue, the downside is you
need to remember to check oil level occasionally - the upside is price - I
am selling it more cheaply -
this particular unit is from some kind of medical equipment- it has a vacuum
gauge on the inlet and a pressure gauge on the exhaust - It shows 26 inches
of vacuum, so it is in good condition (I had to clean it, the blades were
stuck due to lack of use/sticky oil) - it is also very quiet. The in-line
switch on the cord is defective, I can add a new switch for you (for
whatever a switch costs) or you can do this yourself. You will need a good
inlet filter.

Anyway, if you are interested, $65 plus postage - find me through my web
site below

Note - this is a "quick sale" type deal - I haven't put it up on my site -
once I do that, the price will be higher.
