As the designer of that system, It's great to hear you're so happy with it. Thanks so much for your kind words, I really appreciate it! Happy turning!

Thank you, Howard. It's good to hear you're happy with that chuck. I bet you'll be using it on nearly every project, as I do. You're business and feedback are truly appreciated!

You're welcome Philip. Hope it's helpful.

Training or Knowledge or A Pearl. Thank you For Sharing Your Time Peace J

Well done the best Demonstration I have seen on setting up and using the vacuum chuck

Thank you for your kind words and business, I really appreciate both!

Kerry, I did purchase this from you but the diagram instructions started I may need to take the handle off the vacuum in order to put on the fittings (which I do). However the screws and washers are glued on. Maybe do another video with more detail on the fitting assembly with removal of handle.

Here's a solution to that oil mist. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/peB0h8SbqJ_PmY0.html

If you loose power to the vacuum pump the bowl will fall off shortly thereafter. We are dealing with wood here and it is not air tight.

I don't think so. One thing it would do is make the vacuum come up a lot slower because all the air would have to be evacuated from the tank each time the system was used.

@@KerryHarrison-Woodturning I don't think it would take that long because you're dealing with vacuum, the big benefit I can see is a more consistent vacuum, maybe not, thanks for your reply ,

There is very light pressure on the tube where it exits the spindle bore so there is no wear issue.

That is what most turners use.

I'm wondering if the oil level in your pump is not too high? If the oil level is correct, you may have a wear issue in your pumps sealing rings. I've used a few vacuum pumps in my time and even with an air compressor, worn rings causes more issues with oil mist than anything else. Also, knowing your altitude, you can check if the maximum vacuum you attain is 'correct'. Testing can indicate a problem 'if' you can't reach the proper 'inHg', or vacuum, for your altitude at or above sea level. I'm at 6000 feet and the maximum I can reach is +- 23inHg! That's a loss of 1 inHg for each 1000 feet. (If your inHg is 'correct' for your altitude, you could port the pumps discharge port, with tubing, into an air filter to allow the oil to coalesce and be removed. Double check your pumps oil level often AND clean the element in your filter to prevent clogging. I think you could make one easily by putting brass 'wool' (like steel wool) in a small 1 pint paint container that allows the mist to cling to the non rusting brass wool before exiting the container lit where you make holes for the air to exit.) Good luck! 😁

Well done!

Joseph Hoover Thanks Joe!

+AnkleBiter Woodworks I have not noticed that issue so much with these Robinair vacuum pumps. However the Harbor Freight pump discharge a very fine oil mist. So my take on these pumps is if you don't mind a small amount of mist around the pump you'll probably be happy with Robinair vacuum pump. With both vacuum pumps I never noticed any contamination of the work piece. If you want a system that's totally clean you want a rotary vane pump.

+Kerry Harrison Cool! Thanks a bunch!

@@KerryHarrison-Woodturning @ According to the Amazon description for the Robinair Vacum Master it is single-stage rotary vane design.

@@anklebiterwoodworks2818 I recommend an in-line filter to reduce oil contamination. Amazon has many in-line fuel filters that are both cheap and work well for this purpose. Take your pick.

@@donbomer5630 I have since had one of these pumps and ity did have a serious spitting issue. When it died, I gt a gast oilless pump and have not looked back.
