So @Killa12345 came with the idea of dubbele capping jars
But now i stubled upon these
The brand is le parfait its a french company and they sell these capsullels inner caps that are quit neet
They work well in the vacoven to seal jars vacuum to
The key is to make an insert pipe with holes like a second basket diameter on most of mime is approx 21cm
I use metric diameter pipe by spiro a ventilation pipe manufacturer
And a variac at times is handy to controller engine speed
I have used vacuum tables, simply ground flat, steel vacuum tables. applied grease to the surcace, and put a block of steel with a machined surface on it face down to the table, pulled full vac…and began machining. Vacuum held a piece of steel while a 3/4 carbide endmill going 2000 rpm, at 25 IPM, chewed away at it, and it held all day long. I’m not sure if all of that is understandable…because its machinist speak. But, what I’m saying, is vacuum is very powerful. Use it to your advantage.
I bought a lab stand off of amazon and the quality was less than what I expected, the threads on the rod are God awful. The rod is in two pieces and when it was assembled any bit of movement caused the rod to loosen and sit crooked.
My solution was to replace the rod with an all thread rod. This worked but it was too flimsy and would bend over with any weight on it. So my solution to that was to just add a bunch of couplers to the rod to give it some much needed strength.
