>Well, besides the pump itself, you might want some fittings, hose, vac gauge, bleed valve, inlet and outlet/muffler filters if the pump doesn't have it already. Then there's the matter of hooking that pump hose to your lathe. A few options there depending on your needs and working desires. 2 major ways of doing that ... something like the Oneway E-Z Adapter or the Rotary Adapter. Those can be made yourself for a lot cheaper and more flexible usage too. You'll want to either buy or make the actual vac chucks too. Again, several ways to go depending on what exactly the type of work you're going to do.

There's been discussion on this forum in the recent past so just scroll down a bit and you'll see it. You can do a web search on it too. Several of us have done this and setup websites to explain it. I've included a link to my own below and I'm sure others will as well.
