Wong, Nope, The actuall "spindle nose" would be where your chucks attach to. They can be threaded, D series, Tapered like the L series chuck mounts ect, ect. You just need to duplicate all the dimensions that affect your chuck mounting. Possibly? The system your lathe uses for chuck mounting may be designated with and as a proper european DIN number. In fact I'd be suprised if it wasn't. Pete |

Hi Wong, As "7x minilathes" have a spindle flange similar to yours, though different as to register diameter and PCD of the mounting bolts, you might find it useful to join the Yahoo 7x12 Minilathe Group and have a look in its Files section at "ER Chuck Construction", and at the last file in that folder. Actually, I don't think that's the way I'd attempt it, but you have taken your own thread a bit off topic, so perhaps a new thread might be the right place for further discussion when you get round to the job.

Hi Andy, Apologies for veering off course. I'll start a new thread when getting to making the collet chuck. Just a last bit. The chuck is fastened to the spindle flange from the from with 3 M6 bolts. I'll check out the file section you do kindly shared to see if I can understand how to go about mounting the big chunk to make the collet chuck. Thank you. Regards, Wong |

Hi Wong, It is I who should apologise. It wasn't meant as criticism. This is your thread, after all. If you want to look at files on the 7x12 Group, you will need to join it first; it isn't open to the public like Madmodder. But membership is automatically granted to everyone who applies. Andy |

Hi Andy, There will not be an end to apologizing to each other then. :) Found that I've those files on my iPhone. the chuck is for those with threaded nose, which I have mental images of the process needed. The front mounting one is something that I can't figure out how I can start. I'll think some more and start another thread if need be to gather comments and/or criticism. Regards, Wong |
