Hi All, I know this is an old thread, but I just learned from a fellow woodturner that Tom Steyer at JT Turning Tools passed away. It was not virus related.

It was posted on The Wows that Tom Steyer of JT Turning Tools passed away the other day from a brain bleed.I have his hub and adapter that I bought from him a couple of years ago it it is nicely machined.

I have a oneway vacuum adapter set up for either a powermatic 3520B or a jet 1640. The one problem with this adapter is that it is designed to stay on the lathe, not go on and off. This gets in the way of using a knockout bar to push out a Morse taper, but my solution is to have a large nut with the correct threads and a large washer that goes on the lathe before the drive center, and then just turn back nut to push the center out--works great, easier than a knock out bar. Anyway I have it up for sale for $65, I pay shipping to the lower 48 and it includes my nut arrangement. If anyone else is using this adapter I would be glad to send pictures of my nut arrangement which makes the entire thing much easier to use.
