Thanks for the reply. That's what I was thinking, but some MT3 adapters are just rammed in place or tapped lightly with a hammer and function adequately. I was wondering if the vacuum was applied and the adapter was brought into place so that the vacuum "snapped" it into position if that would be enough force to seat is securely.
Like I said, just wondering out loud. Raymond Julian Kettle River, MN The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second. -John Steinbeck, novelist, Nobel laureate (1902-1968) On 10/29/2015 06:27 PM, andy pugh wrote: > On 29 October 2015 at 23:20, rayj <raymo...@frontiernet.net> wrote: >> I was wondering if anyone had used >> vacuum to snap the holder into place, and if it is likely to be tight >> enough for a little light milling. > > 14.5 psi on an area of 0.88 square inches. > 12.75 lbf.
