I've had this wooden box full of Scully-Jones collets for at least a decade now. I almost sold them once, but since I and the buyer had no idea of how to mount them on the lathe, I decided to just keep them.
They are all marked Scully-Jones. The taper looks the same for all, but they are all different sizes. The smaller one in the pic is only 1.25" long so if I dropped it in my 1MT spindle on my mini woodworking lathe, it would just fly out the back end.
I looked up one in the Scully Jones catalog. It was marked 09330 8.9.DR and 778795. The only # I found in the catalog was the 09330 and that said it was a "Morse Taper Drill Chuck" with a 1MT and was meant to hold a drill size #8, #7, or 5.10mm. (that's as far as I could narrow it down.)
So I guess my question is, what type of adapter do I need to actually use these things? My headstock spindle is 4MT, my tailstock is 3MT. They are all different sizes so can't be as simple as a 3MT to 1MT adapter. Did Scully-Jones make some sort of universal adapter that held these things? Lengths range from about the size of a dime to about 2" long, with a corresponding variation in width but since they were all stored in one box, I'm thinking there must be one single piece of metal made to hold them all.
Thanks
Joe
