Hi How's the fit and finish on that machine? I was thinking of getting one. Thanks, Frederick C. Wilt

The actual reference surfaces are the face of the spindle and the outer dia. of the spindle nose; the outer dia. of the spindle is not a reference. IIRC, the mini-lathe.com and/or

Page 50 of the HSM for Sep/Oct 2002 has an article on making 3-C and 6-K collets with dimensiond drawings and good details. There is a good discussion of the advantages of the 6-K collet over the

Hello All I am looking for the parts to put a collet system on my mini lathe also. Now one might ask what size collets other than 3c can I use, well here is a site where maybe some of those

I'm working from the pdf files of articles written by Exactus: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mlathemods/files/LatheColletChucks/ As you suggested, he has you make the collets in pairs and gives the

Thanks for the information. Somewhere I have seen a dimensioned drawing of a 3-C collet; if I find it I will get it to you. I suspect that you are "skating" the tool tip on the chrome plate. You have

Hi Bill, The diameter of the shock absorber rod is 0.865 while the large end OD of the collets is 0.830 so I can't be too sloppy when centering; the body OD is 0.650. This shock was bigger than

I am surprised that the strut rod steel is hard to turn as it comes from the strut! In my experience once you get under the chrome plate it is very nice turning. Except of course where it has been

A lot of helpful hints in your post, Roy, thanks. This is the type of info one would pick up as an apprentice in a machine shop, I guess. I'm looking around for a new steel collet for use as my

My choice for a "standard" collet would be a pristine steel one, from one of the suppliers who states accuracy. I'd use it to hold an accurately ground test rod - dowel pins are good. I've had

The collet is a new SB, sk-polishing offers these frequently on eBay and I took advantage when one didn't seem to draw many bids. I have accepted it as a standard in testing my collet chuck, at

I measured my 5-C spring collets and found less than .001" taper from the threads to the closing cone!

I wonder if the brass collet is part of the problem. Coming from e-bay, there's no telling what sort of abuse it may have suffered. Steel collets are "spring hard" to avoid distortion during

Hi Roy, Thanks for the link. I looked at the site and wrote to the owner, Dave Audette, who provided a considerable amount of information in a detailed reply. One key bit of data is that his

Based on building a 5-C adaptor I believe that the bore should be straight to align the collet body coaxially with the lathe axis. Bill in Boulder "Engineering as an Art Form!"
