vacuum sysstem in up and running

I rather like my vacuum coupling.  It's an industrial bit o' kit I got for next to nuthin' on the flea bay.

I can go pretty fast   - - not mind you that I'd trust  vacuum with high RPMs.

I welded up a rig to go on the coupling to prevent it from spinning.  Apparently it is overkill and  unnecessary because the hose is stiff enough to  keep it still

here is a vid of the coupling  I took the fixture off that I had on it. the hose seems plenty  stiff enough to hold it under power

 The pipe thread into that aluminum disk is a left hand thread.  Hard to find a left hand pipe tap.  If you need one  I got one you can borrow so long as it won't be used  in steel.

I turned the aluminum disk so that it's double as a pulley for my slow speed rig.
