I have a Royal 5C collet closer on my 13 x 40 lathe. Before I orderedit
from Royal, they had me measure all critical dimensions and send to them.
They sent me a perfectly fitted collet closer including, of course, the nose
piece. I suggest you contact Royal and tell them what you need.

Hi all,
I'm new to the list but have read some of the digests. I picked up my
first metal lathe last week & have many questions but most of those
should be answered when a copy of the owner's manual arrives. One
question that I doubt will be answered in the manual is the specifics
on the nose piece for a 5C collet closer. The machine is an Emco Maier
Compact 10. I knew the nose piece was missing when I bought this
machine.

My question to anyone with specific knowledge of this machine is....is
the nose piece proprietary to EM or could I just order one from Royal?
I have determined by speaking to Blue Ridge Mountain Machinery
(apparently the sole distributor for EM non CNC machines) that it is a
# 5MT but wonder if any of the other dimensions would be a problem.
They don't have this part & couldn't answer my question.

Regards & Thanks,

PS: If anyone has any leads on the milling attachment for this machine
I'd appreciate hearing about them.
