Before I do my usual and proceed to re-invent the wheel, I decided to try here for tapers
dimensions and the like. I just got a P!-2 engraving machine virtually naked. It was late
enough to almost be the Heavy duty model. The spindle has a tapered socket and no closing nut. These are illustrated as a block of 8 panto collets but are asterisked to inform
that the 5/16" bore comes with the machine and is not included. These No.1169-1 collets
generally resemble the Universal Accuacy Flex right to the skinny taper but not the nose.
Another and still made would be the ER type, which with a lot of fussing might be grindable
tothe Gorton taper. Without pouring a cerrotrue plug in the socket the taper appears to be
4 degrees per side and perhaps .875 long. Major dia. about .487. Has anyone on this site
been curious enough to measure one of these animals? On re-inventing the wheel- If I select the stones and invent the chisels and other tools for the project, why then and only then someone will have them on e-bay. I at least need to go far enough to make that happen. No fool like an old one - tomas- Tom Burgess, Kalispell, MT.
