I was asked today if I could machine some 3" face 5C collets at work to try a new application at work.
I told them I could, but have never really done that before.
I have a 5C collet block.
This is an already machined 2" face collet in the block.
The import collets we buy do not come with pins so I will need to shim the split lines before tightening
the new collets in the block. That block will just catch corners on the face of the 4 jaw chuck for the lathe.
I need to bore them for a 2.020" fit about 5/8" deep.
Any suggestions or tips?
