Rotovac 360 XL parts

[Living The Dream]

Does anyone have a Rotovac 360XL that they'd part with that has a good drive shaft where the rotary union threads into?

When I bought my XL on auction here the rotary union got damaged when they shipped it and it F'd up all the threads.on the drive shaft. Rotovac sent me a new rotary union, but it still leaked because of the threads. I was able to Teflon the threads and it worked for awhile, but then the leaking just got to bad and it's sat in the corner ever since. I've tried using a thread chaser and everything else, but nothing seems to work.

I really loved using this machine. My fatigue was way less and I always got great results.

Nope

I’ve only ever had but one interaction with Rotovac and it was much less intrusive than buying a glide

So, buying glids from Tom is intrusive?

looks like a fairly inexpensive part assuming it's similar to the female driveshaft of other models*


*excluding things that get fd taking it apart

 

[Rob Grady]

It has a totally different drive shaft than the other models. I would talk to Nick.

Never had to buy new glides for my Devastators

Brady must be padding behind your back.

 

[hogjowl]

No
We vacuum

 

[Mikey P]

No
We vacuum

what does that have to do with the longevity of PTFE?


Tackless, rough Olefin glue down and just plain heavy use, wears down glides, which are you (blissfully) avoiding?

 

[hogjowl]

Only reason I can come up with why my glides last so long.

I promise not to make fun of Tom's lack of cuts...

Besides, after your goiter removal surgery, under your drugs influence, you shared all sorts of feminine secrets with me, while your wife was shopping...
