Hey, it's been a while...
Does anyone know where I could find a set of collets for an old South Bend 9" lathe? The adapter is for 1-A collets, but buddy at Fundy Grinding in Truro said that 3-C would also fit - they're just a little longer. I'm looking for some more of the smaller sizes, 1/16 - 1/4".
I know there are some decent fabricators here so I thought I'd ask.
Thanks!

Are you looking for new or used?

If you get them at fundy in truro, I'm heading through halifax to Bridgewater on the 25th coming back the 27th. I could throw them off along the way.

Used if I could find them, but I doubt that'll happen.
Thanks mostheman, but I travel through to Antigonish regularly. Appreciate the offer though!

Awesome, thanks guys. I was hoping for something local, but if you're cool with these guys online/shipping, it's worth a try.

Hey Creepy,
What number collets are those? Are they 3Cs?

I'd have to check, I don't use them much.
There is also a drawbar for them that goes thru the spindle head. i'll get a pic.

I brought the drawbar and adapter up from antigonish on the weekend. If they are the 3Cs, mind if I stop in sometime and see if those collets will fit my drawbar? I don't want to order a bunch of 'em only to find out they won't work.
