I was so happy to find an ER25 collet chuck for my Maximat7 which has a 1-1/2x8 spindle thread, I could not buy it fast enough!
Unfortunately, I read the description so fast I did not notice it read "1-1/8x12" Chalk it up to a little dyslexia brought on by straining at my computer screen trying for months to find something that would work. Heck, all the right numbers are there, they are just not in the correct order.
I am waiting to hear back from the seller, but his auction description leads me to think he will not accept a return.
So how can I salvage this? Is there enough material left on the threads to re-thread it to 1-1/2"? Can a threaded sleeve fit in there, or do I need to make a threaded male-to-female mandrel? though this would increase the chance of runout.
Thanks for your help, keep the derision to yourself, I have already had enough from my own conscience (and wallet!).
