OOOH, thanks for that tidbit daddyeaux. I do know of a guy on another site who has tried the food machine for mag pouches and it worked, but minimally.
Guys, I picked up the pump yesterday (thanks again Sparky) and put the oil in and cranked her up this morning, all seems ok but I do have one question that is not addressed in the little info sheet, what purpose the large cap marked air and has arrows pointing everwhere? Now to start looking for the other vacuum parts needed. I did consider trying the vacuum cleaner compression bag deal but figured it would be a waste of money.
