vaccum adaptor

[Dave Bureau]

Can any one tell me where I can get an adaptor for my Delta lathe? The hole on the end of the hand wheel is 5/8" dia. Thanks
Dave

I took the hand wheel off and there is a 1.25-8 threaded end. left hand thread. i think i found it.

Something like the EZ-Adapter will work just fine since it goes all the way through the headstock.

I have a Delta/rockweel lathe. I ordered a "rotary union" from JRC web Accessories (989) 625-3888. http://www.jrcweb.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=rotary+unions&Search.x=16&Search.y=8 I plan to build a corian insert with o-rings to seal for my lathe. I will drill and tap so i can thread my rotary union into it.
The female port is 1/8" pipe threads and the male is 3/8" - 24 tpi rh. Cost with shipping was $45.58.

No affiliation, just trying to offer a resource.
