Success! Great solution, and nice mod on the bolts Steve. Those collets do make a nice addition to any lathe in my opinion, cheers!

I got one a little while ago, very nice. The rim of the mounting flange has two radial holes, can use tommy bars or a C-shaped pin wrench in them to resist the nut torque.

Hi Steve Enjoyed your video like the Collette's and spanner ideas, your right its best to have studs fitted, it preserves the threads in the collet chuck. What I have done is put a lead on the end of studs & made thick washers with a knurl on dia, just makes it easier.

Nice idea on the handle. I'm going to copy that for my ER 32 chuck. Thank you .

nice chuck to have in your workshop, for sure it comes handy

Gday Steve, great idea, I really need to get this for my lathe, thanks for sharing mate, cheers Matty

that is something i would like to get, great video Steve hope your doing well my friend.

It may be me but,, isn't the hole in the body made to put a bar in to hold the chuck to undo. Great video.

Yep

I have the er32 and er40 in these holders (for my larger lathe) but with the er40 I only bought collets that were not included in the er32 set. So 21mm to 25mm as I didn't want to double up on collets. Luckily my larger lathe uses the D1-4 camlock system so changing between er32 and er40 holders doesn't take too long. I also have a Chinese mini lathe with this holder but only in er32.

They do look a good price Steve... The handle worked well...

mr steve thats exactly what I was looking for.............cheers

Nice one Steve.

For the studs in my three and four jaw chucks I use thread lock. For my ER chuck I used stainless Allen head machine screws. The heads do not get in the way of the collet nut and they improve clamping the flange for me

Can't go wrong at the price Steve, I certainly wouldn't like to try and make one for £30 including materials! I don't think you could even purchase the raw material blanks for that in the UK. Good handle, simple design and much safer than trying to hang on to that pulley. Cheers, Jon

Good job my friend!

Nice work.

nice tool steve thanks., l ordered 32 kit.

Thanks, very helpful

I see you modified the lathe with a different motor and pulley. I'll have to find that video if you made one about that. I have a new mini lathe, the 7X10 Central Machinery version. I keep finding good ideas for it on your channel. :-)

You could make a clamp on the headstock with pins and make a indexer with it too.

Thanks Steve, great tips as always. Is that handle really finished, if it doesn't have a yellow sticker on it?

I use an ER40 on my Myford and it works great.

I have one of those on my Myford ER40....They are excellent!

Love your channel Steve, sorry if this has been asked before, but if you had to get shot of a lathe, would you keep the Chinese or the Myford???

Ya I've had an identical one from ebay for nine months or so and the more i use it the better it gets.Still have not gotten around to making a 3 mt adjustable stop , spring loaded ejector so disk shaped stuff you press against a spring to the stop. ( dont break any Hardinge tm's) just throwing that idea out there , looking for the mini lathe switch my case mill with the click in the right pos. really thinking would this dc power supply make a good wire edm (for the wire) power supply That 10 mm shaft on the motor uh and the allternative a free treadmill that blows fuses a wire edm from that would be wow any of those dc motor supply's with a pulsed 20-30 khz dc at like 200 watts and the arduino controll and an edm drilled spark plug for a wire guide d' work right

I bought this collet chuck for my Myford ML7 from the link below. Quality does indeed look good. Is there any recommended er40 collet brands for reasonable money?

Hi steve sorry to trouble u again I was looking for any information that u may have an a myford ml7 I have just bought one waiting for it to be delivered its second hand comes with 2 chucks and so on is there anything important I should know before setting it up it comes with a myford stand that I dont require if u know anyone that needs one they can have it as long as they collect or cover postage thanks again david

Many thanks I am interested in C0 micro lathe may check collets and holder in compatible or available to Ç0 micro lathe 🧐 Neal

Hello Steve. Thanks for the video. What size do you recommend for a mini lathe and mill of the same size. I also have a cnc with ER20 spindle. Thanks

@SteveJordan

Hi I recommend the ER40 or the ER32. The ER40 obviously has a better size range though. Regards Steve

yeah, not much room,, even with mine having M6, studs are the only way to go if you swap a chuck more than once a year!

جميل جدا جدا زالك الظرف

I prefer to have a dedicated backplate for each of my chucks. (I only have one lathe)

Why would you want the Er40 over the Er32? I only have er20 at this time, and I see that ER32 matches the spindle. Maybe I am not seeing the advantage? Thanks as always Steve!

@verdantpulse5185

Er40 has a bigger through hole, up to about 1 1/16 inch, as opposed to the 3/4 inch of the Er32.

0.015 runout in the collet is good enough? What do you get out of a 3 jaw? if thats not in the spindle itself, you may want to consider making an adjustable backplate to tune that thing in. collets should to better than 0.015"

@SteveJordan

The run out doesn't matter as I mainly use them for 1st op bar work. You can easily knock components to run dead true as well. People are obsessed with the run out on collets when they shouldn't be.

@@SteveJordan if everything is 1st order then sure I guess it doesn't matter. but then why bother with collets? a 3 or 6 jaw scoll seems more appropriate. not trying to tell you how to do your thing, just curious why you went the route you did? and you say obsess, I say tune properly so it doesn't piss me off every time I chuck something.

1. It is more accurate, 2. the jaws will not scratch the workpiece, 3. When machining a thin wall pipe, it won't distort it.

hi steve which mini lathe would you get if starting over, what make is yours

@SteveJordan

Mine was an Amadeal. Warco seem to spend more time on theirs but they can be a bit higher price. They are all really very much the same and tend to need a bit of fine adjustment. I had mine in its original state for at least 5 years before changing the motor. They are great little lathes and I have made hundreds of precision components on mine.
