That looks like it, yes. However, the thread on the inside isn't the
same as the R-8 collets on my (Rockwell) lathe, it has, well, what looks
like a nut welded inside it for the equivalent of the drawbar. Maybe
nonstandard?

So buy or make a drawbar. All-thread rod works fine for this.
Use two nuts and a lock washer on the top.


Got the drawbar, don't have the 3/8" collet. Half-way there, and now I
know what to buy, so I should be good. Thanks everyone.
