I'm looking at the 5C collet chucks at CDCO, US$139.00 http://www.cdcotools.com/index.php

They sell collet sets, 1/16 to 1-1/16 in 16th increments for US$59 and have screwed backplates with 1-1/2 x 8tpi threads.

They also sell 3C collets, which are the ones for the 9" hercus, at very cheap prices

It would have been great before our dollar crashed. I guess it would cost about A$400 after including postage and a backplate.

Looks pretty tempting. I think I can hold out for now though

Hi Derek

I bought some stuff there a long time back when hercus still made lathes and they could supply any part you wanted. Interesting to hear that they still supply stuff. I'll have to check them out at some stage.

Thanks
Steve
