EZ vs Hold Fast vacuum adaptors
The sealed bearing in my shopmade vacuum adaptor is no longer sealed and
it's too far to drive to get another. (translation, I'm too lazy) Any advice re the E-Z vacuum adaptor and the Hold Fast for 25 bucks less? Turn to Safety, Arch Fortiter http://community.webtv.net/almcc/MacsMusings |

arch - why don't you just buy a bag of replacement bearings and change it
out. just read the numbers off the bearing and look for a box full at surplus prices "Arch" wrote in message ...

EZ vs Hold Fast vacuum adaptors
Mac,
Thank you very much for reviving my question. Hopefully someone has advice re both commercial adaptors. I want to order one or the other this week. I had cut two lengths of 3/8" tube to fit my Nova 3K and Jet mini. Turn to Safety, Arch Fortiter http://community.webtv.net/almcc/MacsMusings |

Thanks for the great tip, Mac. Bet others will profit from it. Could
the Nova rotary valve be adapted to the Jet mini hand wheel? Turn to Safety, Arch Fortiter http://community.webtv.net/almcc/MacsMusings |

Good question, Arch... I went out and tried it, and the answer is "yes and no".. The nova has a different shape than the Jet, as the mini has the inside taper on the wheel.. OTOH, my shop-made valve on the mini is a corian dish inside the handwheel with a hole for the bearing.. So, if the hole was the same size as the bearing on the Nova adapter, it would work.. I guess you could taper the hole slightly for a press fit, if you were going to use the same adapter for both lathes.. The adapter is made to let the bearing fit tightly inside the Nova handwheel and be held with an allen screw.. Thanks for the great tip, Mac. Bet others will profit from it.
