This vacuum chuck is CNC machined from solid aluminum and is great for finishing the bottom of your turned wood bowls and other vessels.

How to use this wood lathe chuck:

Thread the vacuum chuck onto the lathe spindle
Cover the open end of the chuck with the self adhesive rubber gasket included with the chuck.
Using a 3/8" ID plastic tube, connect a good vacuum supply to the 3/8" OD tube that passes through the headstock from the chuck.
Position your turning on the chuck and turn on the vacuum.
Smile because you now have a great way to finish your turnings!

Note: A vacuum swivel is not needed with this chuck because the tube inside the chuck is mounted in a bearing so it remains stationary as the chuck rotates.

Threads: select from 1", 1-1/4" or 1-1/2" available in the drop down box above.
Outside diameter: 3.5"
Overall length: 4"
Steel tube length: Select the length you need from the two options 18.5" or 20.75" beyond the end of the chuck.
Chuck material: 6061 aircraft aluminum
