Oneway Vacuum Drum Chuck

Oneway Vacuum Drum Chuck

Oneway's heavy drum chucks are milled from solid aluminum stock, with smooth, rounded lips that seal well against convex, flat, or concave surfaces. Ideally, use the largest chuck that will fit your work; the 5-1/2" model offers the greatest versatility for general work. Each drum comes with a wrench, a firm 3/32" neoprene gasket, and a heavy aluminum former for shaping & seating the self-adhesive gasket.

In order to use a Oneway Vacuum Drum Chuck, a Mounting Adapter to fit your lathe is required. Mounting Adapters are sold separately.

Vacuum chucking is a productive turner's dream of instant, positive, non-marring holding power and instant release of the work at the flip of a lever. If your headstock spindle is through-bored with no cross holes, and is threaded at the outboard end, then you're ready to mount a vacuum chuck.

You'll need six components to complete the system: a Drum Chuck, a Rotary Air Fitting, a Vacuum Gauge Kit, a Vacuum Pump, and two Stronghold Mounting Adapters (one for your inboard spindle nose, the other outboard.)
