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
