Hi, I would like to have your feeling on Vacuum pumps.
At this time I'm using two motors (Lighthouse Lh676565-OD-240) my spoil board measure 54x108 and separated in 8 sections.
It's giving a reasonable amount of suction, I'M having problems with motors burning up on me, and this is the second one in not so many hours of use.
I have found a regenerative blower on EBAYhttp://www.ebay.com/itm/380390423887 Siemens ELMO-G 1.3kw (1.74HP) 2BH1 500-1AF19, would you think that one of these or similar could give the same or better performance than the two Lighthouse I'm using.
I would like the real vacuum motors suggested by Shopbot but my budget doesn't permit it and further more I don't have 3 phases, the farthest I can go in my shop, is a 5HP motor.
If you have other solutions, I will be glad to take a look at it.
Thank you for your help
