ER32 Collet Chuck for Proxxon PD 400

[Wongster]

Finally finished up with the mounting holes. I took my time to align the centre finder to make sure that the holes matched with those on the spindle flange.

Installing the transfer screws. They were protruding so much just for photo shoot. I centre punch them to make the mark deeper.


The 3 holes completed. I've to re-position the job for each hole due to insufficient travel on the Y axis.


Testing that the holes matched up nicely.


Turning on the lathe to see if the job wobbles. Not too bad, I think.




Counterbore done with a counterbore bit. Alignment was a breeze with the pilot at the end.


The cap screws sitting just a hair below the surface.


I'm rather happy with the result so far. I've more pics over at my site at http://www.wongstersproduction.com. Got to go to bed soon as I'll be leaving for Bangkok in the morning with the family and some business partners. Will be back next week for more fun in the shop.
