I don’t have a R-8 spindle. Good shape, with spanner wrench. Pick up Niagara preferred but I could ship UPS. I don’t know what shipping costs. $50 or trade for ? 20241203_174503.jpeg
 
Could you please post some more pictures, ideally with some measurements?

It reminds me of a Balas collet chuck
 
I didn’t have my phone to take pictures. I don’t think it’s the same as a Balas. Erickson is interchangeable I believe . This is R-8 to a thirty taper quick change.
Do you have a Balas collet chuck. I used to have, probably 500 Martin master collet pads in all sizes,hex round, emergency. I gave them all away. I think there are a few boxes left if you have a use for them. I think some are Warner & Swasey collet pads, same a Balas

Thanks. I have a Balas C16 collet chuck and collets 1”-2” by 16ths. I don’t know much about collet pads, and don’t know if they would fit. I would certainly be interested
