Over the years this question must have been asked many times, but the search function did not serve me well-or more likely, I asked the wrong question.
I have a late model 10k without any headstock mods. Lathe new to me.
A. Am I correct with the following?
1. The 10K spindle general taper is a 3MT.
2. The 6K collets fit without any sleeve or adapter. They just use a 6K size drawbar and the small front mounted "tit" to keep the collets from spinning.
3. The 3C sleeve (adapter?) has a 3MT on the outside of the unit.
B. I also have some 3C collets, a 3C sleeve (adapter?) and a 3C drawbar that is too short.
1. Does anyone know what length I need for the 3C drawbar in the SB 10K spindle to use my 3C collets? I have some 3C collet sizes that I do not have in the 6K collet size so I would like to use both sets of collets.
Lots of items, but I found a forum entry of 15years ago that left me confused.
Everything seems to fit for what I asked above, but I don't want to get anything jammed up if I am wrong.
