Has anyone made a 5C collet indexer or collet block...

...for use in the vice of a milling machine?

I saw one on another site, and wondered if anyone had made one, and how they used it.

Bill,

There is no rule per se against it. I will start a link in the Sites forum to address this.
In the meantime, I ask anyone that has an issue with something posted to contact Tony, Walter or myself privately in PM.

Thanks,

Yes, I made a pair of collet blocks one four sided and one six sided. I trued them up by mounting the collet between centers
on a shaft using a rotary table. They have been really handy for making small parts. View media item 95071.

I made them out of a two inch diameter solid truck receiver that a friend gave me. Also, I made a little storage box to keep them in.
