Santa bought me a new Harvey T 40 lathe. just got it in the shop, definitely a nice looking machine. Anyone have a T40 and are using a vacuum chuck system? Would appreciate any and all insights and advice.

Also, there is a vacuum system out of the UK called Airpress. https://www.airpress.co.uk/category-listing.php?id=70
If I understand it correctly, this system does not thread anything through the spindle. Anyone have any experience with that type of vacuum chuck? Pros/Cons ? Thanks in advance!
