    Default 3C Collet Set and Closer

    Hi,

    I recently bought a Hercus 9'' 3C Collet set and Closer from Gumtree for my 260ATM.

    I tried using it today, it came with a morse taper adaptor but I think it's the wrong size.

    Has anyone used a Hercus 3C set on a 260? Did Hercus make a adaptor that fitted the 260? I've tried Mal's site but couldn't see anything.

    Cheers Ben.

    Hey Ben, I think you'll find that the 9" has a No 3 morse taper while your 260 is a No 4.
    Cheers John

    That is correct, I remembered I bought a 4MT centre last year.

    So, where do I get a correct sized taper sleeve?

    You may have to buy a 3/4 sleeve and cut the tang off so that you can get the draw tube to screw onto the collet.
