The diameter is spot on 5.401" - a slip fit for a 5.400" face ring.
Michael Koblic,

Did I ever mention this old 'pot' collet system?

The black cup goes behind the collet body and wedges it closed when
the drawbar is tightened.

The partial set I have came from a Rivett lathe.

You could fit the taper ring into your new faceplate. I think the
collet body really needs a stem extending back into the spindle to
keep it straight.

I believe you did.

Re-the boring bar: I was simply contemplating what I had in the box.
Anyway - see part 3 :-)
