rovercoupe Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 As per title, it came in a box of lathe related bits and have no idea what it is, it has a collet on one end and it screws up by hand. any ideas as to what this thing could be?

London Best Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 Looks like a collet drawbar to fit through the headstock of a small lathe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoBodyImportant Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 It’s for a lathe but not the turning head. It goes on holder. The piece turns and your tool hold a drill bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diver One Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 Yep....tailstock collet drawbar, usually in lathes that have not got a tapered tailstock sleeve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rovercoupe Posted June 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 Right I think I get it now, so would the shaft pass through the tail stock and be held in just on the end bit and the wheel at the other end is used for tightening the collet up?

ditchman Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 i think it is like a tool you would use to lap a valve in on the cylinder head............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
