Starship Enterprise

The new heavy-duty Becker vacuum pump for the new Shop Sabre CNC router arrived yesterday. It is massive and weighs in at a hefty 600 lbs. We decided to mount it over our auxiliary compressor tank, as space in the router room is at a premium. Keith welded up a sturdy frame, and we lifted the compressor (with the forklift) and then rolled the assembly into the router room. It bolted securely to the wall with three good-sized lag bolts. We decided the vacuum pump looked a lot like the Starship Enterprise. :)
