Getting a new collet chuck made

May 09, 2007 1 Replies

How much would it cost to get made something similar to the chuck shown in the link below? This chuck is some form of uncommon autolock type, I'd like one made that would accept int30 tools. Any ideas?

It looks suspiciously to me as though they may have adpted a spindle design intended for 'push' type collets. as used on capstan lathes and the like. If so you may be able to make a spindle cap and use standard collets so as to at least get some use out of it, if you can identify the type. I don't suppose you'll be that lucky, though.

Is your existing chuck the 'very small' Autolock (now extinct), or some weird hybrid?
