Any Holdfast Vacuum Chuck System Users Out There?

[Ron Ford]

Has anyone used a Holdfast Vacuum Chuck System from Craft Supplies USA? I'm considering adding one to my tools and would appreciate any feedback. Also, would you add a 3" chuck head as an additional accessory? I am using a Jet 1642 lathe. Thanks to all for the great feedback and support I have gotten from the members at Sawmill Creek.

Ron, I have the same lathe & have been using the Holdfast system for about 2 years. I got the 3" chuck head and use it most of the time. I think the system works great.
