Abstract
An adjustable collet holder for use with a lathe is provided. The adjustable collet holder may include a set of hold down screws to hold it in place once adjusted. Adjustment may be achieved by adjusting multiple set screws to change both angular and concentricity orientations of a collet receiver relative to a body of the collet holder.
Claims9
An adjustable collet holder for a lathe comprising:
- a body connectable to the lathe;
- a collet receiver;
- and
- wherein the body defines a sidewall, which defines a plurality of radial slots, the slots engaged with the collet receiver so as to limit a rotation of the body with respect to the collet receiver;
- a plurality of hold-down screws configured to secure a position of the collet receiver relative to the body when in a tightened position;
- and
- a plurality of angular set screws for adjustment of an angular orientation of the collet receiver relative to the body, and a plurality of radial set screws to allow for a radial adjustment of the collet receiver relative to the body.
