That is surprising, I have had nothing but awesome service from Joe. I’ve built 2 of his systems over the years and they are fantastic.

Pretty sure almost any pump will do this without any difficulty.
The HF cheapo pumps are oil based and can put out an oil mist apparently. If you use one, put it outside your workspace.
All the Joe Woodworker ones would work. They are pricey. I was not super excited about the customer service but the pump is nice.
You can also look for cheap medical pumps on eBay. They are lower powered but I think would be fine for this. You're pulling a very limited volume.

I don't know, but not much. That will just determine how fast the membrane collapses. There isn't much air to remove.

How many CFMs will be sufficient?

I have been using a vacuum bridge clamp to attach bridges to guitars for almost 20 years now. It is A LOT easier than using traditional soundhole clamps and you don't run the risk of damaging the guitar or its finish during the gluing process. Recently a student of mine and I re-designed the vacuum bridge clamp and I am happy to report that it is now available for purchase. This O'Brien Guitars/Lutherie Academy authorized and approved version is very lightweight and uses a clear collapsible membrane making it easy to view the bridge during the entire clamping process. Click on the image below to see how easy it is to glue a bridge to your soundboard using this clamp. it is also available for ukuleles as well. The link above will take you to my student's webpage where you can make the purchase and he will ship it directly to you.
Happy Clamping!
