Building an ER collet chuck from scratch for a Myford ML7

<< < (2/6) > >>

Very nice work indeed Arnold.

It sure pays dragging around a few bits you have made to places, it shows that you are a genuine deserving cause rather than a freeloader, and I have found a few places will bend over backwards to help you out.


For those in the UK who don't have the necessary to do this sort of thing, go down the page on here a bit, and you will find a couple of different sized ones.

It might also give you a few ideas on other projects to do or maybe a cheap source of those little bits you need.

Methinks that I will invest in one for my RT setup. Not that I can't do it, I am just too bone idle at the moment, and besides, my projects and 'thank you jobs' pile is growing daily.

Arnold, if you ever need anything sending over that you can't get hold of you only have to shout up.... :thumbup:

Not trying to distract you, you're doing a grand job.... :clap:

Gerhard Olivier:
This one is getting on just grand

Keep up the good work :bow:

Thanks everyone  :beer:

For now I have to wait for the collets & nut to arrive - could be a week or two.  In the meantime I have started some other tooling; will post that up separately when I have a chance.

John Stevenson:
Arnold, this is the correct way of doing this as the chuck is dependant to the lathe it was machined on.
Some of the bought ones, and Chronos and RDG have had problems in the past is that once fitted to the host lathe the runout has not been acceptable.

It can vary batch to batch.
