I recently purchased a '42 South Bend Heavy 10 toolroom lathe. Included in the deal was a fairly complete set of 5C collets from 1/16" to 1 1/8". The majority of collets were in great shape, but a couple have a bit of rust. Would you give these an overnight soak in Evaporust, or would you just replace them? We're talking about 7 or 8 collets that have any amount of rust in total.
These are the worst 2 out of the batch:
EDIT: I probably should mention that the boxes are marked "Made in Korea" so we're not talking about a $4,000 set of precision Hardinge collets here.
