Hello All,
I would like to have someone make a collet adapter for my Stark #4 so that I can use 3C collets. The 4S takes 3/4" max, so I don't think a 4S->3C adapter would be too thin.
Can anyone recommend a Philly area machinist who could work with me to make the adapter and a new end for a spare Stark drawbar?
I would like to have the adapter hardened & ground with an external keyway for the Stark spindle and a proper internal key for the 3C collets.
Thanks,
Rich McCarty

PS - The Stark is a beautiful and useful lathe that I use almost everyday but it would really extend my shop if the lathe, mill (Barker PM) and dividing head all use the same collet.
