Hello everyone During last week, I needed to transfer a little 3-jaw chuck from my small lathe now under construction, to my Hardinge lathe. I discovered that Arc Euro Trade sell a series of 5C blank-end arbours at a modest cost. I bought the smallest of these and turned a replica of the mandrel nose of my little lathe onto the 5C blank end. This now enables me to move the three-jaw chuck, the four-jaw chuck, the faceplate and the ER 25 collet chuck from my little lathe to the Hardinge and to the 5C collet Vertical & Horizontal fixture on the milling machine. Most convenient! Cheers! Hubert MODEL ENGINEERING DISCUSSION LIST. To UNSUBSCRIBE from this list, send a blank email to, modeleng-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" in the subject line.
