I acquired a bunch of tooling along with an old model KO Lee B800-19-51 Tool & Cutter grinder.
The spin index style workhead includes an adapter that fits into the workhead (B&S 11 taper) and (theoretically) accepts a 5C collet.
However, the adapter has a collar at the back end that prevents a standard 5C collet from seating completely. The collar diameter is just slightly larger than the collet's external threads. And when I put a collet into the adapter the collet protrudes from the front end of the adapter by about 1/2 inch. And (of course) the collet doesn't close.
Please explain the purpose of this collar.
