Hi folk
Earlier this year I replaced a very worn FP2 Deckel draw bar for my vertical head with a new replacement from Franz Singer. (Germany)
Until yesterday I was very happy with it and never had any issues using my 40Int metric collets and other various 40Int S20x2 studded tooling ...
HOWEVER yesterday I needed to use a 40Int 1/2" collet and I could only engage it about 3 turns, sadly nothing like enough to the lock the collet in the taper. I achieved the job by sadly switching to metric.
Today I tried the rest of my imperial collets and only 2 of the eight could be fully screwed in to be of use! (All my imperial collet threads look good with no obvious damage)
Has anyone else had similar issues with draw bars or Imperial v metric collets and new draw bars??
Thanks
John
