While I'm here I have a query. The EMCO milling head fitted has a Dormer (small) FASTLOC No 2 Morse M10 cutter holder. Does anyone else use this cutter holder, and where can I get collets for it. It has a secondary problem in that it doesn't want to come out of the quill. I'm hoping that I can make up some kind of screw jack that I can use to apply screw pressure on to the end of the collet chuck via the draw bar. An alternative may be to make up a pair of wedges and use them between the bottom of the quill and the body of the holder. I don't want to be bashing things with a hammer. Dave. |

I may have partially answered my own question. I found this on another site. I this a response to someone else who was essentially asking the same question. ...I have a fastloc chuck and a clarkson, the colletts are interchangeable... Can anyone confirm this ? Dave. |

Morning David If I have the correct DP cutter I could make you a gear . I will look when I get home later Rob |
| DavidA:
Morning Rob, That would be very helpful. Drop me a pm and let me know. Thanks, Dave. |

The 'Simplatrol' variable speed control. Does anyone know if there is a thrust bearing anywhere in this thing ? I was thinking maybe as part of the sliding arrangement that varies the gap between the Vee flanges. I'm getting a lot of 'sqeeky' noise and can't decide if it is the belt or a dry bearing. Definitely from the Simplatrol area. Dave |
