Production deburr job on Speed Lathe, 5C soft "Emergency" collet starts sticking in the spindle, gets to the point it sticks enough that you end up banging very hard on the lever closer to get it to release
I've tried everything from relieving the head angle at the slots to spreading it with a tapered pin (which works for awhile), to synthetic grease on the head angle, but it still sticks after 10 minutes or about 25-50 closings.
I know if it was hardened it would keep its spring, but this is soft.....
Any ideas appreciated.....
