spindle extender?
Does anyone know of a source for a spindle extender that i can use with my vacum system? Those I have seen so far are not drilled to be used with a vacum system. Tks Don. |

Use a Jacobs chuck in your tailstock. BTW, the question about weakening the spindle extender (I guess that's the same as a spindle adapter) was thoroughly explored here a couple of years ago. Do not worry--the metal close to the center line contributes almost nothing to the stiffness. |

spindle extender?
Arch: I have a vicmarc 300 lathe and many of the natural edged
bowls i turn are too deep to allow my oneway vacum acsessories i use on the headstock . with a spindle extender threaded onto the headstock i would gain another three inches of head room. I could make new ones from mdf etc but there would just be some more tools to shuffle around with. the vacum system is a 3/4hp gast vac system with one of those threaded rods thru the headstock . I guess i will buy a regular extension and have it drilled out. As it is now i use a reverse jam with a hardwood extension in my four jaw chuck. with several different dias. hope this is what u r asking about. Don |
