Collet info and source for us folks with old stuff
I wish there was a book entitled "Everything You Ever Wanted To Know
About Collets". Machinery's Handbook is good, as far as it goes, but it doesn't go all that far. You can glean a fair amount of info from the tool catalogs, but they don't cover "everything" either. I recently did a little research when an HSM'er got a US Machine Tool vertical milling machine and I wanted to show him the collets that fit the adapter he had. These machines had #9 B&S spindles. The company sold collet adapters of the "Universal" type, (series OW, Y, Z and ZZ) which don't show up in any catalog I had ever seen. While poking around, I found this site, FYI: http://gpcollets.com/Galaxy%20Produc...%20Catalog.pdf Sure was helpful to me. Pete Stanaitis ------------------------ |

I don't see it here, but it appears the data in it is available in small chunks: http://www.hardingeus.com/?pageId=141 -- Ned Simmons |

I've got one of those - it came with my little Index mill. Fortunately
BS9 collets are still pretty common. I found this page on the web. http://www.tools-n-gizmos.com/specs/DT_Collet.html I know when I got the collet adapter the seller pulled out a catalog with a page like this to measure the collets with it to find out which one it was and he said it was the only reason he actually had that catalog. I think mine is a Z - its written on the nail box I brought the collets and collet adapter home in. I haven't actually had time to set the mill up yet. rem On Tue, 11 Mar 2008 11:17:04 -0500, spaco wrote: I wish there was a book entitled "Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Collets".
