Probably your pump is strong enough but you may be making it do too much vertical lift. Just elevate the receptacle you are pumping from a bit off the floor and the flow will increase substantially. Just a possibility. Tried that it’s still weaker then I need

What size tubing are you using? The pictured pump can generate up to 60” of lift aka 2.1 psi at the pump outlet. The flow rate will vary greatly based on restriction. (tube size) I don’t have a cabbing machine, I’m just speaking from my experience with hydronics.

Finally figured out my issue. I was trying to bring water in on one side and let it exit out the other side. Well when I opened the water value on the exit side instead of water coming out the water in the exit hoes created a suction and pulled air in. So I redesigned the water feed system and now it’s working right. (If any of that makes since)

Looks great. Need something like that powered by a crank (to give something for the young-uns to do that isn't phone related).
