Collet chuck identification please guys.

Collet chuck ?.

[NooNooParticipant @noonoo22307]

got this chuck with my lathe, no collets came with it & I’d like to start collecting them.

what are your thoughts? Burnerd multisize? Thats my guess so far lol.

EC2-EC13 ?
there are no markings or designations anywhere on the chuck at all, it is fitted with D1-3 mount for a colchester bantam.

or … maybe its NOT a collet chuck & im barking up the wrong tree ?

Like this sir?

[EmgeeParticipant @emgee]

Looks like your EC2 range collet choice is correct, check the dimensions of your chuck taper to compare with collet data to confirm.

[NooNooParticipant @noonoo22307]

Cheers Emgee, what are you basing your assumption on? Do you have an EC chuck? Is it just the general look of it ?

Glad your guess agrees with mine, hopefully these pictures stay on as i messed it up first time like a numpty lol.

hopefully i’ll get a few more agreeing with you, i’ll start looking around to buy the collets then.

thanks again for your response.

Wow, thank you Mr Parkin, that does indeed look like mine … guess i was nervous as there are no designation, markings, makers mark or stamp … nothing !

does yours have anything written on it ?

John C was kind enough to suggest i scotchbrite it cleaner & hopefully reveal something, but still nothing lol.

Mr Noo

theres only the size written on each collet

nothing as far as i can see on the chuck

[DC31kParticipant @dc31k]

Rotagrip have some info. on the various-sized Burnerd collets in this document:

http://www.rotagriponline.com/datasheets/Pratt/PrattChuckSpares.pdf

Briefly, there was EB, EC and ED. EC is by far the most common and the other sizes are unlikely on D1-3.

Please also read the information here:

https://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/threads/today-i-acquired.50192/page-1490

concerning the closing ring of early models needing modification to accept 'E'-series collets.

[NooNooParticipant @noonoo22307]

Thanks to Mr John C (above)

he kindly messaged me saying he had a full collet set for sale.

great price & in great used condition.

They turned up today & i couldn’t be more satisfied with them.

So thank you again sir 👍.

btw …. Anyone got a spare case ??? 🤣🤣

If you don’t ask, you don’t get 🤞🤞
