Intro

We now have a collet chuck for the Metal Lathe that works with ER32 collets.



How to use

The collet chuck consists of four parts.

  • MT4 ER32 collet holder
  • Draw bar
  • Bushing
  • Nut

In use the draw bar is threaded into the end of the ER32 holder, then fed through the spindle of the lathe (make sure to remove what ever chuck was fitted to the lathe first). The bushing is slid over the end of the draw bar and should register with the internal bore of the lathe spindle bore. Then the nut is threaded on the end to lock it all in place.

Assembled it looks like this (obviously within, this photo is for demonstration purposes):

The read of the lathe should look something like this:
