No where on the floor for the small vac, it will fit behind the lathe when I clean up(just finished making this unit.

I used high pressure water pipe fittings).

Drilled and tapped two 6mm threads in the tool rest holder. (not much width to work with).

The idea is the extractor moves with the tool rest.

This lathe will be for some pens, Bobbins and Hair Pins.

I make all my tool rests 45 degrees. I stand to use this lathe.

Peter.
