Hello,
I recently purchased a Sheldon lathe with some tooling. Included were about 13 different sized adjustable dies brand new in the little cardboard boxes made by Greenfield Little Giant and Butterfield Work-Rite.
I know very little about these dies, but what I gather is they need a collet an handle to be used. On ebay I see all kinds of collets for the Little Giant dies, but none for the Butterfield. Will the Butterfield dies work in the Little Giant collets? Physically they don't appear much different is their shape.
Thanks.
