Wong, the keys will probably pull out if you can get a good grip on them with pliers. They will then fly across the room, never to be seen again. Andy |

Hi Wong, The attached may be of help wrt the PD400 spindle flange dimensions... Cheers, Vijay |

Hi Vijay, Thank you... I got the OD of the register alright but the PCD computed based on the length of 2 bolts was off. The figure I got was 81.xxxmm. Thats the reason I don't trust my measurement of existing parts... till I've more experience. There is this 0.5mm dimension on the first drawing under the word MK3. Any idea what is that? Those ER32 collet chuck from Arc Euro, LMS, and others I found have PCD of less than 83mm. Got to find harder... Regards, Wong |

Hi Wong, On the 0.5mm dimension, unfortunately no. I suspect you might have a bit of a tough time locating a collet chuck with a PCD of 83mm. While I was researching the PD400, I too wasn't too happy with the Proxxon collets (like Graham mentioned above) prompting me to consider using ER collets from Arc, LMS, et al. Needing the spindle dimensions to identify a suitable collet chuck I contacted Proxxon who responded promptly and efficiently with the pdf I posted. And, while I don't have the original mail from Proxxon handy, I seem to recollect them mentioning something on the lines of the spindle dimensions (register, pcd) being unique to them. After a bit of searching unsuccessfully for a collet chuck that matched I pretty much gave up on it. That was a bit of a turn off! I'm still without a lathe :bang: but I hope this is of some help to you. Vijay |
