I have a Maximat lathe/mill that I am working on trying to use and need info on the mill and collets, etc. I have one 1/2" collet and need to get some other sizes. I see that there are collet kits available, some are probably cheap Chinese but also used on fleabay (probably not Chinese). I am also trying to get the apparatus out of the column. It looks to me like the process is to remove the cap, unscrew the bolt from the top and tighten the cap down to force the tapered part out. I have gotten to the point of cranking the cap down but the taper won't let loose. I don't want to strip the threads on the cap and the book says not to hammer on the thing. What can I do to get that thing out of there?
Attached are pics of everything. And the collets that are on the market all seem to have a grove in them near the head of the collet, will those collets fit into my mount?
Thanks
