When I ordered an MT3 ER32 collet chuck from CTC I also got a 20mm plain shank one like this :- The shank was removed with a cut off disk in an angle grinder, leaving this :- Next the outer body was turned and drilled. Originally I intended to shrink fit it to the chuck, but it seemed a shame to ruin the finish, so I uused JB Weld and two grub screws. The cut off shank was mounted in the 4 jaw and trued up. Using a 20mm collet in the assembly, it was faced and bored out to 16mm. One of these :- was turned into a 16mm spigot for the rotary table. So, I can now mount chuck on the table, or on the rotary table. That will hold from 2mm to 20mm dia. Thats all my modding for Today's post! Ian |
