Howdy, At home, I free hand and check against a gauge: protractor, external thread sample... At work, I can dress a surface grinder wheel at any angle or use a sine plate. The replacement acme screw f

Wow!

Howdy, It´s not that ER collets are not used widely, it´s that they are no used SO widely, as in workholding in industry. Yes, ER collets are everywhere, but for holding cutting tools, not parts. OK

Greetings, With a price per set under 150 USD on Ebay, one cannot expect anything more. May it be made functional, OK

Howdy, I´ve seen end mills over 3/8" diameter pull themselves out of ER collets; hence, any end mill over 3/8" diameter gets put is an endmill holder or hydraulic chuck. The ER tap holders are okay. C

Hello, ER collets are for holding drills, reamers, taps and small end mills. Some light workholding is possible but definitely not recommended if used in a Morse taper adapter unless it has a draw bar

Hello, Yes, nobody needs a Multifix, nor any quick change tool post for that matter, though Multifix is more versatile, a OD turning tool doubles as a chamfer tool, a grooving tool can do shoulder und

Funny, There is no universal table for all the major tool posts made in the world. The Aloris/Dorian is a USA product. I never saw it in Europe. Multifix is popular in Europe, though the original is n

Greetings, The Create Tool website is no razzle dazzle, but it has the information needed to pick the right size tooling. Communication with the company is in Chinese English and it still might be on

So much for new jaws for an old chuck....

Greetings, Actually, my 1917 Monarch required new headstock bearings, a countershaft with cone pulley, rescraping of all the ways, shimming of the tailstock...basically a complete rebuild. After five

Ha! So, all this hooplah over some boat anchors in Wisconsin? Very silly, OK

Wow! This turned into a commercial for CME and SANOU in a hurry! I still want to read the quote, and it´s not going to be for just some jaws but a chuck rebuild. Keep the faith, OK

Howdy, I am very interested in reading the quote from Worldwide Chuck Services with shipping included. OK

? Unless the chucks have two piece jaws, masters and bolt-ons, one may procure new jaws nowhere. Good Luck, OK

Howdy, The two lathes for sale look like parts donors or fine for blacksmithing. May be Farce be with Thee, OK

Greetings, To elaborate on why instantaneous reversing is needed, to get the intended use from this clapper style threading tool the split nut should stay engaged and no pulling out of the tool should

Greetings, The flip up threading tool holder is interesting, like the clapper on a shaper. Unfortunately, the lathe needs instantaneous reversing: three phase motor, clutch drive, special single phase

Howdy, Three jaw chucks generally are good for a few thousandths of an inch runout with hard jaws. Higher end ones are better, Buck or Atlas, if it still makes anything, but pricy. Probably the only h
