Hey guys,
I would like to introduce myself. My name is Hannes, I am 29 years old, I come from Austria and I design industrial glass melting furnaces for a living. I am a hobby machinist and, because I got a new shop, I've also bought a new machine
It's a used Colchester Triumph 2000 and I'm really looking forward to make chips with it. I have to do some smaller repairs on it and I was able to get most of the parts for a reasonable price or rebuild them myself. But I am facing a big problem now. The former owner has overtightened the cams for the camlock chuck mount, all six of them have cracks in the corners of the square drive and I need to replace them. I've marked the parts on the picture below
To my knowledge, these parts should be standardized according to ISO 702-2, but I am not shure if Colchester maintained this standard. Does somebody know if it's possible to simply buy these cams as spares from a different machine? Just like these ones:
I guess, you pay 10 times more if you buy those parts from Colchester and I really would like to avoid that.
Thank you in advance for you advice!
