Organize And Store My Er-32 Collets......finally

[brino]

I have a question regarding the Lathe Adapter. Is this something you made? How does it attach to the lathe?

Hi Charlie,

I bought the Beall collet chuck, I have posted about and recommended it a few times; here are some links:

Labeling on my sets would be very nice, but I never thought about the way you did it.

I really like my wife's little office lamination machine for anything I use in the shop.

It'll probably come loose because of inadvertent drips from the bottles, but I can always make another one. I suspect hot glue would work on aluminum, but do you know if it will adhere to cast acrylic?

So far my hot glue is still holding.
I would think that contact cement would work well for both aluminum and acrylic.....but get the low odor stuff so it doesn't aggravate your asthma.

Thanks. Never knew there was such a thing as 'low odor'. That's good to know.

THANKS BRINO!!!

Its funny this thread was originally like 5yrs old, so I never saw it. But seeing how you got your collets organized made me want to get some things that have been bugging me organized. Specifically those Silver & Deming drills. My SO had gotten a nice wood box with a sliding plexi top and the SD’s fit in there, but messy. I don’t have a lot of nice wood but I had a chunk of grey UHMW that was perfect. So I drilled it out and voila! While I was doing that my aforementioned SO was at a yard sale and kept sending me pix and none of it was interesting. But undeterred she brought back a little aluminum for .50c. Perfect for my knurler! Can’t believe it. I was going through all these different contortions and here she brings that home!
