Below Royal 5C collet nose mounts into no. 5MT of spindle nose. I presume is longer projection than necessary due to the integral chuck guard system. (this is on a small manual/CNC lathe) But shouldn't there at least be some sort of flange or cover to keep coolant out of the D1 spindle nose holes ?
Seem like a way better method would have been a tapered spindle nose that mounted into the D1-4 spindle..like on a Monarch 10ee. Heck, for that matter maybe the Monarch nose would fit ? (except Monarch is D1-3 isn't it ?)
=================
(on edit) I just called Royal and as it turns out sometime about 2002 or so they stopped making the MT type nose and changed over to camlock noses, so I can get a camlock nose from them. The downside is it's not as beefy as the Monarch nose and it cost $711 )
