Vacuum Chuck, Plate & Rotating Unions
This device has been designed as an aid to Woodturning. It Enables an item to be re-mounted on the lathe for finishing without risking further holding marks. The rotary adapter is fitted with two ball bearings and lets the lathe spindle turn freely while the hose, and connection remain stationary.
Warning
Some air needs to be drawn through the vacuum cleaner for cooling, particularly with continuous use. This can be via the bleeder facility on some nozzles, or if none exists, a hole needs to be drilled in the nozzle (approx 1mm) if so desired.
In the interests of safety, this device should only be used at a moderate speed and wherever possible the tailstock, with leather or a dowel, should be used to support the item being finished.
