Looks like an expensive vacuum, that does not make the task any easier, or less of a mess, seeing the mess of the opened hatch.
And most of the time using a dry vacuum, on dry chips, it's those long stringy ones that get stuck in the flex hose of the vacuum. More messing around to get it moving again.
But the email picture, made me think of a vacuum chamber for some special large project, that I could enjoy.
Vacuum deposition would be cool, they did that on ferrite disks, machined for the MIL bayonet type circular connectors, used for aircraft. These were for HIRF filters. Type 43, and 72? (cover the wider range of frequencies) under the LRM connector's long pins, mounted to a PWB, with 1800 volt capacitors on each pin, 27pf to ground. Tough part was getting a real good ground plane connection back to the aircraft mount. All for plastic carbon fiber aircraft, lightning and high intensity radiated frequency compliance testing. My goal was to keep the whole system operational during the strike or RF event. Kept the display from glitching, but autopilot disengaged with warning annunciation. So all good. 1800+V/m radiated field 10KHz-16GHz (I think, I watched a lot).

Yeah, bummer, as I was also expecting this to be some cool machine to draw a large volume vacuum for any number of purposes. The only advantage this machine has over a ShopVac is that it looks more like a meat smoker… no bbq until you finish your work!
