BP disaster: snapped r8 collet?

Ok, y'all know how you tighten the r8 collet/em in. Here's what happened: Upon tightening sed r8/tool, the thread of the r8 popped out, the r8 collet body/em fell out, and the drawbar and the r8 thread/nut are now just spinning in the machine, with nothing to lock it so the drawbar/threaded pc can be removed!! So the hex draw bar/r8 nut just spins freely! Oh, left out you may need to cut some tapered wood wedges to drive about the insert to stablize it so you can drill into it.

Wes If it has the slot you could make a 1-pin spanner. |
