Vacuum Chucks for Woodturning Part 1 of 2

Vacuum chucking is a useful and versatile method for holding work on the lathe but it is often overlooked to the perceived complexity and cost. This video will try to take some of the mystique out of the use of vacuum chucks including: safety, system setup, equipment needed, and application of vacuum chucking for holding your work.

Thanks for the video. I pretty much just copied your vacuum setup. Gast pump on wall and all. Works exceptionally well.

Steve, what was the name of the company that you mentioned for the vacuum chuck system

May I request (respectfully) that you change the title of this video? It is marketed as being about vacuum chucking but this is not discussed until 13-1/2 mins in (35%). It is actually a video on mounting pieces to finish the bottoms. Thanks.
