8×8 Vacuum chuck

Table of Contents

Overview

Needed a custom sized vacuum chuck, so I made this.

  • Diameter of external hole is for 1/4 npt tap
  • Based on using Pierson Workholding’s gasket. I think it’s .125, can be purchased off the shelf.
  • Slots are .118″ wide, .095″ deep.
  • Designed to fit on an orange 8×8 ZPS pallet
  • Holes on top of chuck are for 1/4-20s for a top plate
  • Vacuum hole is a tapped 10-24 (Can just be a through hole, tapped to be plugged if needed)
  • One .25″ locating hole.

  2. I used an Orangevise 8×8 pallet. Otherwise any sizable chunk of aluminum should do.
