The Chucky Vacudapter was developed to fit in the hand wheel spindle thru hole of most wood lathes.
'This is accomplished by threading the appropriate interchangeable Shank with “O” Rings into the Chucky Vacudapter body and simply pushing the Vacudapter into your Headstock Hand Wheel.
No more messing with Lamprods or Hoses in your Spindle!
Included with the Chucky Vacudapter
The Adapter Body and your choice of one appropriate Interchangeable Shank with O Rings to fit your Lathe.
Integrated Stem and Nipple (3/8 Stem 7/16 Nipple) that inserts into your vacuum hose.
(We recommend a braided hose avalable at most hardware stores.)
Two Stainless Steel hose clamp to ensure a good seal.
Extra Set of O Rings - some versions may not have “O” Rings
Additional Interchangeable Shanks are available see dropdown menu above. You must purchase or have previously purchased a Vacudapter to order a Shank. We do not sell them individually without the Vacudapter.

Vicmarc VL300 includes adapter for Vacudapter - must have Handwheel with M16-1.5 thread for the adapter to be threaded into the Handwheel. This is only required one time to allow easy insertion and removal of the Vacuudapter . You may have to adjust the diameter of your knockout bar (by mounting it between canters) and slightly sand it to fit through the insert when Vacudapter is removed.
SPECIAL NOTE for Jet 1440, 1442.1640, 1642,1840 and 1842 Lathes AND the RIKON Lathes
There have been some through hole size changes made to the handwheels for these lathes.
Measure the inside diameter of the handwheel through hole (not the spindle hole) and contact me BEFORE ordering so that we can ensure to ship you the correct size Vacuudapter Shank.
Due to a manufacturing variance (by the lathe manufacturer)in the I.D. of the Handwheel; some Vacudapters will have a shank that has the seal molded on the shank. This will be slightly oversized and you will have to mount it between centers and sand it down to fit your handwheel. It sands easily. This is the only way to ensure a good vacuum for these lathes.|
You may need to lubricate with WD-40 or Petroleum Jelly.
The 1836 & 2436 Laguna Vacudapter (shown above) screws into the threaded handwheel.
If you wish to order only a shank you must first have previously ordered a Vacudapter with Body.
That way you can have different size shanks and use the same body!
