NOTICE:
I am out of Vacuum Pumps for the final time and there are no more in the pipeline.
Thank you fellow woodturners, its been a great 15 years serving you.
The website will remain open to field questions and support. There are bearing kits available on the Bearings & Parts tab.
1) 4” Dia PVC Vacuum Chuck
with foam seal, specify 1” or 1 1/4” x 8 TPI threads.
(2.7” and 5” Dia. also available)
The secret to my system is a sealed bearing imbedded in the cup with a polyethylene extension tube that carries vacuum through the headstock. Eliminates vacuum leaks at threads and at outboard adapter, also it fits 99% of every lathe made.
Note: Compatible with all outboard adapters, do not insert the headstock
extension tube. Retain tube for use if traveling to a club demo, etc.
2) Vacuum pump 3/8” ID hose connected to 3/8” OD polyethylene
tube exiting from head-stock. No clamps needed-snug fit.
3) Vacuum cup with 150# (approx.) holding on square edge bowl.
Plus bowl can be reversed for sanding and/or refinishing.
Try that with your Cole-Jaws or jam chucks.
