Default Suggested Vacuum and Pressure rating

I am starting out in casting world. How much is a good vacuum to pull in a small vacuum pot. Same goes for pressure in a pressure pot; how much pressure is good enough?

Thanks

Knowing what type of resin you are using and what type of casting you are doing would be quite helpful to answer your questions.
Do a good turn daily!
