Hi Folks,

I finally got around to creating some instructions for a DIY Vacuum Chuck including sources of supply for the parts.

Very nice, Bill.

I'm wondering why such a large "base plate" for the drums? 'Just curious...

I left it big in case I ever want it to double as a compression chuck. But you're right, you could cut it down just larger than the largest size cylinder that you intend to use.

Bill, that's awesome!!! Simple and straightforward. Thank you! :) Actually, if you wouldn't mind, I think this would make for a great piece for our "articles" section. Maybe you could ask Aaron if he could do that for us??? Thanks!!! :) :cool:
