Any suggestion where to buy a 5c scroll chuck
All this talk about 1/64" 5C sets, I broke down and purchased a set of used Hardinge 5C collets. Appears to be in pretty good condition. I have been using collets more and more since I purchased my 5C scroll chuck two years ago so between that and this thread I figured I would jump in with both feet.
Thanks guys. Thanks for helping me lighten my pockets a bit more.
Mike.

Congrats Mike. I use my collet chuck a lot and it is great to have the set by 64ths. You can then find a fit when you need it.All this talk about 1/64" 5C sets, I broke down and purchased a set of used Hardinge 5C collets. Appears to be in pretty good condition.

Tks Dan Looks like nice toolIf they where still in business I would have said Lathemaster, as they sold a very nice set-true 5C chuck (I have one).
Shars looks to sell a set-true style chuck.

Brass & Tool sell the Bison set true chuck as does Penn Tool.

Nice catch Mike.
I really like the labeled holder. My racks are not labeled and make it a pain to get them back in order when I have had several out using them.
In addition, the Hardinge have the sizes engraved on them vs. etched. A touchdown of some Scotch-Brite on an etched collet removes the size marking pretty quick!
