Hi Trey Here is what the collet closer of the hand wheel type looks like.? The thead? of a 3C collet is a bit odd.? If I remember correctly it's .630 - 26.? I may need to confirm this?as I am not sure I'm correct.? What happens when your 82 things seem to get lost to time. Any questions you have let me know will see if I can help.? ?OK first off the best way to strip the japanning off your lathe is with what used to be called Mr. Muscle oven cleaner it's what I have used on every machine I have restored. (over 60 of them) it's now called barbecue?and oven cleaner.? If you do a eBay search for Mr. Muscle this new named product will show up and it is the same product they just changed the name.? It's only available from janitorial supply?places or online.? It's too dangerous?to be sold in stores any longer like it used to be.? What happened was a young lady accidently sprayed her eyes and it blinded her and the following lawsuit forced the Mfg to take it off the store shelves.? This was in the late 1990's.? My brother and I actually stripped a white enamel paint job off a 68 Mustang fastback in the mid 90's using about?a six can case of Mr muscle oven cleaner. It's great for grease grime and enamel paint as well as japanning but will not take off acrylic?enamel. Dennis. On Mon, Nov 27, 2023 at 12:06?PM Trey Tull <trey.tull@...> wrote:
