LMS has already ordered spare collet nuts and has agreed to carry them as spare parts in the future, so problem solved!?

John, Great minds think alike! See photos. To make matters more interesting, this appears to actually be M44-1.0, not M40-1.0. Waiting to hear from LMS.      ? -- Regards, Charlie New Jersey, USA

Hello, All,
I have several ER-32 collet chucks of different types; one for my mini-lathe, one for an R8 spindle to match my mini-mill, and a 2MT for my rotary table. These all use the same M40-1.5 collet nut, which is basically available everywhere.
I recently purchased and received an ER-32 Spin Indexer from Little Machine Shop, for use on my mill. To my surprise, I noticed that the collet nut threads are M40-1.0, not M40-1.5. I spent a little time searching the internet and could not find an ER-32 M40-1.0 collet nut. My concern is where I will obtain replacement nuts if and when this becomes necessary. I will email LMS and ask if they carry these collet nuts, but am concerned that I may be out of luck in the future.
Does anyone know if M40-1.0 is used routinely on ER-32 collet chucks?
Thanks to everyone for their help!

Bill, I am quite familiar with your situation, as I have a similar one for a different reason. There are some situations where spending any amount of money to resolve such issues is worth the subsequent financial sacrifices. Health issues of various kinds seem to be very high on that list.

Re: ER-32 Collet Nut Threads

I figured you had checked it, but I've got the aging eyes problem, myself. About 5 years ago my eye doc said I'm developing cataracts, and I've noticed that I need more and brighter light, and often supplemental magnification to see stuff close up. I've not been able to see stuff far away since about the 5th grade, so losing my close-up vision is rather scary. Just got my 55YO wife's cataract surgery early in March, and she can now see road signs and such without glasses, as she opted for the expensive Toric lenses. Once she gets her close-up glasses, and the appointment for that is next week, and we find out if she can drive again, I may have mine done. Kinda depends on costs. I believe it's going to take me about two years to pay for her lenses. She was effectively blind, if not meeting the clinical definitions, and wanting to check out on me. She's taken up a new form of art, and gotten interested in living again, so I'm a happy camper.?

Hi, Bill, Thanks for the documentation, Bill. I have saved it for future use. The thread spec is clearly shown on page 13-1. Rego-Fix are, as I understand it, the original developers of the ER collet system. I believe that the "R" in "ER" stands for "Rego-Fix". I have emailed LMS about it, asking if they sell an M40-1.0 ER-32 collet nut and asking what they propose otherwise.

Ralph, Yeessss... but it would be tricky. The most difficult thing is the eccentric undercut that frees the collet from the chuck proper. As I see it, it would need one or more special cutting tools. I would rather just buy the nut, but if it's not standard, I wouldn't have a choice. Nowhere on the LMS page or tabs for this product does it mention the non-standard threads. ? -- Regards, Charlie New Jersey, USA

Hi John, great to hear from you!
I actually, almost have my Z motor mounted. I have tried a couple of methods of mounting the X motor. I have been active on the? ?/g/AtomicELS?group which I started last Fall. I really like being able to talk with the originator of the AtomicELS app.
I am about out of shop time and need to get into the garden and I have a roof to replace and a lot of other outside projects. so the lathe project will have to wait for next winter unless I steal some time.
I was going to mount the Z motor but then I "thought" gee?I really need to put a top on my workbench and mount the lathe down so that has taken me about 3 weeks,?
?I might actually get the Z motor mounted but so far just making up an enclosure for the electronics has been taking a lot of time.
Ralph
Richard I agree,? If you turh a "rail" into the rough bar stock to fit the width of the rollers, then I never had an issue over the past 53? years of making chips and they are intruding into the running roller areas. How many of our forum members were running lathes on piecework,? regular night shift? and getting the job done putting food on the table. Less armchair machinists please.lets see (photos) of what you are doing and not what you say you can do or dream of.?

One of the more logical objections to using roller bearings on a steady rest was that they tend to drive swaf into the workpiece. I want to make up some bearing fingers for mine also.
