I’m still working through getting the Rivett set up. I’m puzzled by an issue with the collets/spindle. I have an L0 taper spindle and I assume a bore made to take 6R collets. The problem is the collets won’t seat all the way.
The taper portion of the spindle only extends inward about .708”.
But the taper portion of the collet as shown above is obviously longer.
The opening at the end of the spindle is about 1.672 and the end of the collet measures 1.670. Seems right.
According to this site:

The head length should be 27/32” on a 6R collet. But mine measure about .961”.
