Vacuum Adapter
$ 109.00
A vacuum adapter is the rotary coupling needed to connect a vacuum hose to the lathe spindle. It simply slides into the handwheel end of the spindle and is held in place with two 0-rings. The threads for the fittings are standard ¼” NPT (National Pipe Thread), available online or at any hardware store. This is the only part of the vacuum system we sell.

Quick view2 HP upgrade (220 volt)
$ 220.00Add to cartDetails
If you’re just working over the bed and plan to keep your work to less than 16” diameter, you’ll probably be OK with the 1.5HP. Also, if you only have access to the 110 volt electricity, you’ll be restricted to the 1.5HP. But if you have access to 220 and if you plan on taking the gap out and turning larger work, get the 2HP. It is expensive to make this change later on, as both the motor and the drive need to be swapped out. -

Quick viewS16 Spindle Banjo (handy for small work)
$ 395.00Add to cartDetails
The stock S16 Banjo is large and heavy so that you can use it over the gap without vibration. Some users find it clumsy for fine work, like a finial. In that case, you may want this smaller banjo that is still strong and sturdy, but shorter and lighter weight. Buy it with your lathe or add it later. Toolrest not included.
