I opened up the closer on my Yuasa Speeder this morning for the first
time
and found this. I think the guy I bought it from might have mentioned
this,
but I don't recall. The broken part looks similar to an AccuraFlex
collet.
I have some larger ones for one of my collet chucks. It doesn't look
exactly the same (size not withstanding) though.

Anybody know what collet that is? Is it a Yuasa only part?

It still works to clamp the collet/holder that actually holds the end
mill,
but it would be nice to have one that isn't broken.

Bob..without measurements..its hard to tell..but this may be of help
to you.

Hardinge makes every collet in the world you can think off..Im sure
you can find the part and type number/designation



Cool thanks. I'll see if that gets me there.



let me know, I have the same speeder and collets, haven't needed to
find another (yet)

Karl


If I find an answer I will post it.


Hardinge can be good for identifying a collet. However, their prices
are (choke) a little rich. The obsolete B3 collets for my old
Bridgeport M head (not in service yet) are about $175 ea. Luckily, I
was able to get a used handful a while back.

While I would choke on that price, its still a lot cheaper than buying a new
speeder.
