Default BP disaster: snapped r8 collet?

I think it's interesting that Bridgeport has a 120+ page manual for
their machine, while Excello fits pretty much the same information
about 20 pages (I have an original for my 602-series).
Not a complaint, just an interesting thought. I have to say, that the
detailed blueprints included in the Excello manual (like the ones in
the BP manual, but more in blueprint form) were invaluable when I
needed to repair several parts of the power downfeed and quill spring
mechanism.
