This item has been improved by a New Version.
The new option requires a vacuum arbor instead of a "Lamp Rod" system.
Please have a look at the new Arbor Version Chucky Vacuum Cones before you order.
The Arbor Version allows for more room between the Headstock and Workpiece.
The cones are the same size.

Chucky Vacuum Cones
Especially great for vacuum holding smaller workpieces.
Available for 1”- 8, 1 1/4”- 8 and M33 3.5 TPI Spindle Sizes
These vacuum cones thread directly onto your spindle.
You must have your own vacuum system.
The cone size is approximately 3" diameter at the base by 1.25" in height and 1.75" at the tip.
The picture shows three Cones - you only get one cone in the spindle size ordered. The picture simply shows that there are three spindle sizes available.

Please Note: The turnings shown in this video were out of round. Which is of course one of the reasons for re-chucking them with vacuum.
