This Collet Chuck came attached to my B&S #13 Tool & Cutter grinder, but there were no collets included, nor are there any marking on the chuck.
Any guesses as to what collets it takes. Walter

OK so figured out what the chuck is. Turns out it was under my nose all the time in the B&S info. One of the gents on PM suggested it might be a Jacobs rubber-flex and sure enough turns out it is a 900 Series 1/16 - 1-3/8 Capacity Collet chuck made for B&S by Jacobs Manufacturing Co.

Nice chuck Walter. Is it going to be put back to use on the T&C grinder or is it going on the lathe?

Chuck is going to stay with the T&C Grinder, already have 3 jaw, 4 jaw, 5C and ER 40 for the lathe. Steve The chuck actually came mounted on the B&S #13 when I got it. It was mounted to the faceplate. I have just ordered a few chuck plates for this unit along with the universal head, a radius wheel truing grinding attachment and a live centre driver. I found a complete set of 11 collets on fleabay last night for 220 us plus shipping so they are already on their way. Walter

You beat me to it Walter, I used to run a B&S 13. The Rubber-Flex collets are are very nice to use, super precise and they have a good range. I wouldn't mind having a set for my lathe.

Parts arrived in less than a week. Ordered a similar setup from Neil Butterfield the same day for $250 USD and it took longer to arrive Sep 26 although the quality was way higher. Started a writeup on these http://www.metalworkingfun.com/showthread.php?tid=1795 Shipping from UK seems to be pretty good from what I have experienced. I did get a set of 11 of the 900 series collets, they have already shown as shipped for $220 USD plus freight. Walter
