I was planning to make one for my ER40 chuck but then I found out that it is possible to buy extra long machine bolts. I bought mine from a local outfit called McFadden-Dale. I'm sure McMaster-Carr also sells them. One bolt cost $15 but it saved me the trouble of machining a draw bar. I added a shoulder washer I made that centers the head of the bolt on opening at the headstock end. This is similar to what I used except mine was black oxide steel. Obviously a bigger lathe will require a longer bolt. http://www.mcmaster.com/#92198A828 Henry

That's not really a drew bar needed on that ER 40 unit. All you need is something to back up the hold of the taper. A piece of all-thread, couple of nuts and washers will do. The collet is tightened with the nut on the front. I jist use the thru spindle stop I made.

I have this ER-40 collet chuck for my lathe.

I am going to see if they sell local as it will save me the shipping fees. Thanks for the heads up Henry.

It does have one disadvantage over Ed's chuck pictured earlier. You can only grip short stock while Ed's chuck will allow you to feed long bar stock through the chuck.
