You know one of those venturi vacuum pumps that uses compressed air to draw a vacuum? I know LMI has it but it's expensive. I was wondering are there any good but inexpensive venturi pumps out there?

The name catgut is confusing. There are two explanations for the mix up.

Catgut is an abbreviation of the word cattle gut. Gut strings are made from sheep or goat intestines, in the past even from horse, mule or donkey intestines.

Otherwise it could be from the word kitgut or kitstring. Kit meant fiddle, not kitten.
