I hesitate to raise a new topic since my last effort resulted in a debate of 
such intensity that one of our erstwhile members was driven to drink ( Good 
luck with the rehab. Harry). However - here goes:-

The collet drawbar on my trusty Colchester Chipmaster has just stripped and 
I am having great difficulty in identifying the (female) thread. The collets 
are Boxford 327(5C) type and the thread measures 0.598ins. O.D. and 0.632 
ins. I.D. It is 26 tpi. Solve the mystery and I promise never to mention the 
word "accidents" on this forum ever again!

Regards,


Barrie
