I purchased the whole set up kit on this vacuum chuck system and it works great. I use the Robin air 2 stage pump which is over kill but it works fantastic with this kit. I highly recomend this chuck. Very well made! WJE, Spokane Valley,Wa.

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.

The video is very useful. I purchased this system a few months ago and agree it is a well made system. I also separately purchased the Robinair 15500 vacuum pump. not so nice. provides plenty of vacuum but after 10 minutes or so the shop is full of oil mist from the pump. Robinair is sort of hands off, this was designed for HVAC work not on a lathe. I believe it is a good pump but with the heavy misting the system is not useable. I have verified the oil level is just slightly below the fill line. Any suggestions would be very useful. is there an exhaust filter arrangement that works or?????? Thanks so much for any helpful advise.

What happens if you have not got the tail stock engaged and you loose power? Will the vacuum hold long enough to prevent a bowl missile?
@KerryHarrison-Woodturning5 жыл бұрын
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.

Very nice, the system is simple but very sound. One question, would a tank about a couple gallons volume added to the pump then the vacuum line coming out going to the lathe tube give a better or more consistent hold to the chuck. Just thinking. Although it works fine as it is, great design.
@KerryHarrison-Woodturning5 жыл бұрын
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 ,

One question, if the chuck is turning, and the hollow shaft (spindle) is rotating, how do you avoid wear caused by the air tube being stationary in the spindle.?
@KerryHarrison-Woodturning4 жыл бұрын
There is very light pressure on the tube where it exits the spindle bore so there is no wear issue.

I set up the vacuum pump you described and it creates a lot of oil mist while drawing down a vacuum. Have you found a solution to the oil mist issue?
@jessejohnson1593 жыл бұрын
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! 😁

One of the things I keep hearing about the types of pump you have there is issues with oil contamination as well as oil misting on the output end of the pump. Have you noticed this with your setup?
@KerryHarrison-Woodturning8 жыл бұрын
+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.
