• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.

Correct, you need left hand thread 5C collets. Yes a limiting factor, but there were still available for sale last time I checked. I have been using this set for about 10 years and it served me well. But I just made myself a drawbar and collet adapter and if I sell this setup, I will be upgrading to 29 pieces in 1/32 increment .

Interesting...

Cannot say as to having ever noticed any listings for LH Thread 5C collets, in all the years I have been drooling over various machine tool suppliers catalogs.

Customs from the likes of Hardinge? Who supplies?
