Years ago I bought a vacuum pump from Veneer Supplies and it has served me well on the vacuum chuck on my wood lathe. Recently I decided it was time to spring for a vacuum bag and ordered one from Veneer Supplies (see that review elsewhere). The bag came with the quick connect fitting. Since I want to use my existing pump for both purposes, I needed to buy this quick connect fitting to make it easy to connect the pump to the chuck. It is great having a quick connect to switch back and forth.

This little gem helped me to make my own vacuum degassing chamber for two part silicone molding. I used a heavy glass container from IKEA and drilled a small hole in the plastic top. It seals perfectly with a rubber washer. This brass adapter is the exact same size as the one on the end of the hose, which is included with the vacuum pump kit.
