I'm no where near ready for anything this sophisticated in the way of a chuck but some of the components came my way by various means and I'm curious what else is required for a vacuum chuck setup. Pictured below is what I now have. The first one shows a Oneway swivel adapter sans some type of additional adapter to mate to my Oneway lathe. The second shows a picture of a manifold with a gauge and tubing. The last shows a Robinair Model 15600 vacuum pump that was used by someone that services HVAC systems. Can this pump be used for a vacuum chuck system? What else is needed to complete the setup? And most importantly, under what circumstances do you use the darn thing?
