Collet options for a 16" threaded spindle?

Ron_m80 · Jan 20, 2015

I would like to know what Collet options there are for the Southbend 16" with the standard threaded spindle.

I learned that the 9a can take either an 3c collet, or an mt3, in the spindle; Is there such a duality in the 16".

Thank you.

If your 16" is a "Big bore" (2"+ spindle threads) it takes 5c. If you have a small bore 16, (1-7/8" threads) it takes 2A collets. I think the 16" only came in big bore, but am not sure.

If your lathe has the 2.375" x 6tpi spindle, it takes 5C.

You can also screw on a Hardinge Sjogren that takes collets at least up to 1 3/4 capacity (3J)

Going to do something similar for my Sheldon, but for 5C.

Thank you. Are there any other Collet options? I am completely in the dark on any aftermarket options that would work.

I have a .N.O.S. 16" hand lever collet attachment for sale. It was made by Royal for SBL.
It is sized for the D1-4 camloc spindle, but I can change it to fit the 2 3/8-6 threaded spindle.
Email me your interest.
