collet

I purchased a used mini mill and it came with a chuck and set of imperial collets (1/8" - 5/8"). Well I needed a 10mm collet so went about trying to find what type I needed, but I was unable to identify it. I sent pictures to the Little machine shop and to a local sales guy and they were stumped...

Hello everyone. I recently bought a new to me Logan Ward 10" Lathe with a TON of tooling. Everything from extra chucks, HSS blanks & cutters, face plates, collets, center drills, and lots and lots of other tooling and goodies. Anyways included with the lathe is a collet closer and collets...

I did this project a few months back, I wanted to see if I could hold a square pen blank in an ER32 collet on my cheap HF lathe. So, starting with this: I converted the center hole into a square and 3d printed this design: And got this result before removing printing supports: And after...

Hi guys, I recently acquired a fairly large assortment of machine tools, including an aciera mill and a bridgeport "M" head which i'll be adapting to fit the mill, the head came with a collet chuck and one collet (the smaller one) for which i can't find any documentation. it's ~27mm at the...

Hello friendly machinists, I am searching for a 3C collet indexing fixture to rotate a part while I laser weld around the circumference. Does anyone know where I can find one? or if they are even available? The other option is to find a 3C to 5C collet adapter. Does anyone have info on this...

I'm a newbie to machining but after about a year of fooling around I now can confidently place an ER 32 collet into the clamping nut and screw it into the collet chuck on my 7X12. And I've made some nice small diameter things of 304 SS. BUT: all of a sudden I got a severe attack of tool envy...

I am new to the hobby and I recently purchased a Little Machine Shop HiTorque 8.5" x 20" Bench Lathe. It is their version of the Sieg SC4 lathe. I really like it and just purchased a set of 3MT Collets from them. These are great for working on shorter pieces of rod but they are not through...

Hello hobby-machinists, I am using the clamping force of collet chucks to squeeze some metal cylinders. I would like to make this process easier by having the collet be powered by the shop air. I have read about 5C pneumatic collet chucks, and I am wondering if there are other sources for...

Hi, I got a pile of morse taper 3 collets. They are made for a Thiel 158 head and the kit came with an adapter from MT5 to MT3. Since this kit is made for a milling head, the collets are not made to put stock through it. I have two machines that can use this kit, one is my lathe Torshalla...

I need a drill chuck that closes completely at the center. most chucks leave about 3/32 opening. I'm trying to chuck wire into it for straightening, using a hand drill. I have looked at using Collete's or some other technique, or maybe using a dremel but ideally i would have some kind of...
