There is no gap and I the 2nd closer I borrowed is even worse. I'm
wondering now how to get that flange off and thinking maybe I could
make a spacer to go behind it. This is about the only solution we can
do with the equipment available.

I e-mailed you about those accessories to our Hardinge and didn't get
a reply. We are interested in a cross slide and 3 and 4 jaw chucks.

email me pictures of the collet closer body, the nut at the back of
the spindle, a closeup of them together if you can..etc.

I havent seen any emails about Hardinge parts recently. Ive got an
aggressive spam killer so it may have spooged your email.

Ill go check it. Its not something I check everyday, only use it for
things like this. 2gig mailbox for free is good G
