It doesn't include the compressor. Most of the discussions ot this type
system lead to the conclusion that the amount of compressor power needed is
excessive. I don't think $255 is cheap. I put a vacuum system together for
my Jet 1236 for about $20, plus another $70 for a used vacuum pump. Check
Bill Noble's website for ideas, plans and used pumps. I don't have his web
address handy, but surely someone will supply it. I have a spare pump
sitting around that I bought for $20.

Hi Moray, As Leo said, it is an incomplete system, way overpriced with
the most necessary item missing; the sizable compressor. Some time back
I posted a thread re making up a venturi system using a $9 Harbor F.
venturi and a few dollars worth of parts. You could look in the
archives, but don't build it unless you already have the compressor.

You will need an air compressor also. All you are getting is a venturi
system to generate the vacuum, the chuck and some of the plumbing.

in fact, I'll supply my web address - www.wbnoble.com
and there is a selection of pumps there (and faceplates also)

Thanks Bill Noble. I was on your site earlier. It is a great site. I
look around more on a site that gives a little more information on how
to do things and/or make things. I think even the people that buy the
product like to see how it is made. I just Googled your name and got
it. I have been onm so many sites about all kinda stuff to do with
turning. Even though I may not use all I am reading about right away,
I am just looking at possiblities and costs. With the wealth of
information on makin your own jigs and gadgets, I do like the idea of
making my own tools and gadjets but I will have to learn a lot more
trades to do all this so I may have to just see what I am going to do
and buy or make the bare necessities to to achive that. But I will in
future try to make some addition items that will aid in whatever
turning I am doing and at the same time I love finding and reading all
the possiblties. Here is a great web site with some short movie clips.
John MacNab works at Pier 21 in Hailfax Nova Scotia in the same
province as I. The guy that has a space next to him is a cabinetmaker
(Ken) and I was talk to him the other day and the next day I am there
he is going to introuduce me to John and let me see more on what and
how he does what he does. http://www.johnmacnab.ca/ I have always
found that people who do woodwork are so very open and friendly to one
another. Always willing to help out
An idea I have, of course if I get good enough before the reaper
comes, is if someone is taking down a tree in their yard, offer to
make them a bowl or something with some of the wood and that gives
them a connection to the bowl. They can say this is our apple tree or
whatever tree.
I am going to check the archives on bandsaws now as to the benefit of
low, medium, and high speed models and much more I need to
know ...............Murray
