Home made vacuum system

Description

home made vacuum system, parts used: fridge evacuation pump (used to remove freon from freezers), 1/4" aluminum plate, misc fittings flexible copper piping. I wrote some construction notes here:

the vacuum system is used for two things, to remove bubbles from investment and to draw liquid metal into a mold.

note: again I can't be responsible for injuries resulting from using my designs, vacuums can be hazardous when misused.

I've always been curious about vacuum casting. I'm used to doing the vacuum for pulling the bubbles out of the mold, but then using a centerfuge for the actual casting part ((also dangerous slinging metal around like that Oo... but its fun XD)) It's been years since I was able to do any actual casting...
