Someone has recently given our woodturning club a rotary vacuum adaptor. The shank (that goes into the headstock) is 61/64” OD and ¼” ID. Does anyone know what lathe this fits? Thank you.

Looks somewhat close to the adapter originally made by JT Turning tools, now made by Robust. Close, but not a match - didn’t bother to check dimensions, but the Robust/JT versions have Double bearings and a longer body.

I don't think that the dimensions given are correct , 61/64" would be almost an inch as the needed opening in the spindle

And if it is 16/64" that is a 1/4" but the ID is 1/4", according given dimensions, well that does not work either.

Better get the proper dimensions, even than it might be hard to find what lathe it fits in.
