Yep all goodly now mate that is excellent I love it, another thing on the todo list int?

 

[turnaround360]

Thanks to everyone for your comments hope you make one it is so easy.

Frankie, that is absolutely fantastic, you're missing your calling mate. One thing that puts most people off vacuum chucks is the cost, complexity and in this country, lack of availability but you have just single handedly changed that I feel. Thanks for devising and demonstrating something that will definitely be adopted in my man cave.

I've been an active member of this forum for a long time I
would not show it to my friends if it did not do the job
make one and post your thoughts after you try it Frankie.

Could you show how the bearing was made please, I know it's been described but I can't visualise it

 

[Vic Perrin]

This is a fantastic idea I would love to have a go at making one but similar to Ray I just can't visualise some of it.

If ever you get a chance a breakdown of the build from start to finish would be great for a numpty like me.

Ray the bearing is glued in so i cant get access to it its just a forstner bit drill down to the depth then drill a through hole the same size as the head stock bore.

 

[rayf6604]

What did you use or make the bearing out of?

 

[turnaround360]

I got the bearing from an old grinder but you can buy them on ebay
and that is glued in to the wood.

 

[wm460]

Well made and thought out.
I cheated I bought the bearing etc from Vicmarc, cause I have a couple horsespital vacuum pumps I salvaged.

Could I be cheeky and ask how you done the face plate
