explain it better i may have one, the one i have is for a 5c collet

 

[mike silvia]

The collet is a 2J it is larger than a 5C
thanks

i made a 5c collet stop with 1/2" UNF all-thread, turned to a shoulder for my need
if you can determine if the 2j's are threaded on the ID, you maybe able to duplicate the idea

 

[mike silvia]

the one I have is not threaded

 

[Ulma Doctor]

drat

maybe an emergency collet could be made or purchased, then modified with the addition of internal threads to provide a surface to make a stop operate from.

sorry, i could not be of better help

 

[mike silvia]

hhhmmmm....if I can't find one I may go that route...Thanks

I was going to suggest the same thing UMA did until I googled 2J . An expanding arbor to fit the back of the collet would work But might me hard to set exact. What lathe and what is the spindle bore?

 

[Bob Korves]

You might try to anchor a longer stop rod at the left end of the spindle somehow, depending on what is there.

Might try making a plug that will slip fit in the end of your collet. Use all-thread or a SHCS and hex nut as a stop. Use loctite to hold the plug in while machining. Good luck with your project.
