Looking to cover vacuum chamber I got (price was right...free): Need another cover like the top one, but hopefully flatter so it can sit easy as well. However, that looks pretty special and I might just have to try to machien that myself. As you can probably see, the main chamber is stainless and the lid is aluminum. I have some other assorted aluminum conflat I got with it including that piece to the left, but none of them fit any of the ports (that piece to the left is an inch or two too big for that large one). Approx sizes/qty I need:
Small X 2 (seen at right of picture): 6 holes, ID around .75", OD: 1.25" Seems like this is 1.33 according to sites I looked at. I seem to be able to get these for 10 to 15 each in SS, so this one isn't really a problem.
Medium X 3 (seen front right of picture): 6 holes, ID 3 7/8", OD 6.5"
Large X 1 (seen at left of picture): 8 holes, ID 6.25", OD 8 7/8
Let me know if anyone has any ideas/comments. I think I remembre at least one person here (wouldn't be surprised if more) had a nice CNC system. Any chance I could pay/trade for someone to machine them for me? Would probably bankrupt me to get it down professionally. I have a dril press and milling bits which lets me do some limited work. I can get an entry level circular table for around 100 off of ebay to try to mill out the blanks and gasket holes from metal stock. This might be the least expensive route I am thinking. I have a local friend who has some machine shop stuff and I am going to try to see if he can help me if I can't find the fittings elsewhere (or he might already have some...has a lot of stuff laying around I think). It also seems I need 3 L brackets to bolt down the lid in addition to the large on present in the picture. I would almost think there should be one on the other side, but I didn't see it laying around.
