Hello, Ive a very old VOH bendable arm vacuum and air system on my bench with foot pedal The oiless pump has finally quit on me and Id like to replace it. Can anyone suggest a dual pump/blower that will work? I was thinking the one below might work but not sure. Or I can get a venturi value pedal for the vacuum and just use my air compressor. Any one have any insight on what ls best?

I'm using a similar setup except a small California tools compressor. Since my pump broke I've been hoping to find a single machine that can handle both. I'd like to free up the compressor since I also use it for engraving in a different room and hate moving it all the time.


I think this machine might be able to do both vacuum and pressure.

I suggest a small silenced compressor, I use this one and does excellent job, 8liters 550w , less than 150€, and cased it in a wooden sound-insulated box, to have less noise and no dust moving. It’s excellent

Do you use this for vacuum and air? How do you do the vacuum?

I finally got both my vacuum and air pens working again using a single compressor. I added a Cole-Parmer Venturi pump after the air filter. It's working very well. I've gotten so used to having air and vacuum on my work bench that I basically stopped working for a week while I got it back up and running.
