WTB Holdfast 3 1/2" vacuum chuck 1 1/4 x 8 tpi

[Mark Hepburn]

Looking for a Holdfast vacuum chuck, the 3 1/2". They seem to be out of stock everywhere I look. If anyone has one and is interested in selling, please DM me.

Thanks!

Mark

Do you really mean 1-1/8 or 1¼ x8?

I have searched for holdfast vaccuum chuck parts recently, it seems they are no longer available. There are several threads that discuss making your own system on this forum. These look similar to Holdfast, hope this helps:

Vacuum Cups | Branches to Bowls

The Vicmarc Vacuum Cups are precisely machined from cast aluminium. Each Vacuum Cup includes two neoprene seals for internal or external pickups. They can be used with any of the above Rotating Unions. Rotating Unions, V01216 and V01217 can mount directly onto the Vacuum Cup, as shown below...
