collet chuck

Metrology and standards should make purchasing many machining components a simple decision tree. 1. select accuracy 2. compare prices for a given accuracy, and feature set 3. pick lowest price In practice a few problems get in the way: i) Accuracy is not always described with the same metrics...

I have a Sherline lathe and a Taig ER16 spindle adapter that threads onto the spindle of my lathe. However, because the differences of the Sherline and Taig spindle noses, the threads in the adapter don't start at the base, causing it to only engage one or two on the Sherline spindle: The...

Somewhere along the way, I ran across a company selling ER Collet chuck kits for threaded spindles. They came with a nut and a blank for the chuck body in various stages of completion. They were available as raw stock, either end complete, or both ends complete. The problem is, I can't find...

As the title suggests, I'm looking at getting a ER-32 collet chuck for my Micro Mark 7X16 mini lathe. I was planning on getting this from Little Machine Shop since I know they sell decent quality and I know it would fit. This is the one I was thinking about. However, just as I was about to...

Hello everyone, I've been on this site for a little bit but this is my first 'real' post on here. I'll start out by saying I am a machinist by trade- I started in the tech program in high school and have been doing it for about 8 years now, but I also have machines in my basement and love to do...

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...

I'm trying to mount a 5C collet chuck to a PM-1127VF-LB lathe and hoping someone can tell me what back plate is needed. A link or part number would be great. I don't mind machining it to size, but don't want to make a project out of it. Thanks.

I spoke with Logan actuator about my Logan Lathe 6565 (14"x42") and they have a new old stock collet closer, apparently its different from all their other 14" machines so I know I am going out on a whim here, I would also be interested in a jacobs rubberflex or 5c closer that fits an L0 spindle...

Hi everyone, I've been searching high and low (Google, forums, et al) and haven't been able to find anything on a collet chuck that was included in the accessories I received back in 2001 when I bought my Atlas/Craftsman 12" lathe. I have just recently gotten time to play with my lathe more...
