Hey, folks;
My Heavy 10L originally came with a collet system, and I've been trying to piece that back together. I located a flea-bay closer, but after getting it, I'm thinking it is missing a few parts.
Does anyone have a video of a collet closer in action (how they work)? I'm wondering if I need a different spindle gear on the outboard end of the spindle, and I do know the closer has a woodruff key spot in it with nothing in that area (I expect something that can lock over the spindle gear). Here's what I have (ignore the missing gear covers, parts are still being rebuilt) :
(As a side note, this whole thing is being "re" built using parts. I did not start with a full lathe, just a head stock, then adding parts as I find them.)
Thanks!
