Inherited Problems

David,

Are you really sure that the marking is RJ6 not B16

The link that I posted was specifically for Rexon chucks.

I'll correct my earlier comment about B tapers.

B10 = small end of MT1

B12 = large end of MT1

B16 = small end of MT2

B18 = large end of MT2

B22 = small end of MT3

B24 = Large end of MT3

The number after the B is the diameter of the large end of the taper to the nearest mm, and 'about' 1mm larger than the large end of the socket (~2mm in the case of B22 and B24).

Re the question about inserts, have a look at **LINK**

If you have an existing insert you can measure up you should be able to find something that will fit.

eg a TCMT09 02 04 should be a triangular insert, 9 mm along the edge, 2.38 mm thick and with a 0.4mm tip radius.

a CCMT06 02 04 is an 80 deg diamond shape, 6mm edge, 2.38 thick and 0.4 tip. (These just happen to be the two tips that I use, the link explains what all the letters and numbers represent).

I had one of those bright ideas today. The chuck for the mini Lathe has B16 stamped on it and it wont go on the stub in the drill. I took the drill chuck to work today to give it a good clean up and as I thought it says RJ6-13 on it. As I said I will try the JT6 from Chronos. I am starting to think I might upgrade my workshop . I had an ML2/4 before I had a break from model engineering. My father had an ML7 with a long cross slide and a few other simple modifications that kept him going for years. I could justify the cost of a decent one as an early retirement present maybe. The Super 7 seems a bit pricy for occasional use.

David,

Sorry if [as it appears] I was trying to lead you astray with the B16 suggestion.

Best guess now, is that the R stands for Rexon, and the J6 for Jacobs [Taper] 6.

… Hopefully you are on to a winner.

If you insert a link the default is to display **link** if the text matches the URL. You can edit the text to anything you want, I often remove the HTTP bit and add … in the middle of long links.

At last I have a result regarding the drill chuck.,it was JT6 . New keyless chuck from Chronos for £21 is a good result after a bit of a search. Now I can get some holes drilled the block for the clayton. Still thinking about an ML7.
