That won't work.? You could shorten the shoulder of the draw tub that buts up against the end of the spindle to add length to the tube,? The original collet adapters were not very hard and did not hold up very well.? They were prone to damage when you? tried to remove them from?the spindle. I think in all the Daltons I have I only have one or two of the originals the rest are the ones like you have that were actually used on all 9 inch?South Bend lathes. The picture included is what I think your adapter looks like.?

Dennis - It's painfully obvious after looking at the adapter why I can't just cut off the flange.? It's easier for me to make a draw bar that works with the adapter I have then to scour the planet for the correct adapter.? At least I know what to do now.? Thanks, Peter
