• 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.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Round 5C Collet Block

I need a 5C collet holder 'block' that is round. Typically they are hexagonal or square. A machinist in the United Kingdom made one that is almost exactly what I need(see photo). The typical block is 2.75" long with a pin to prevent rotation. The round 'block' I need would have those features, but it would be 2.00" in diameter. Has anyone made something like this, or know where to purchase one?

I haven’t seen one but wouldn’t be difficult to make.
I have to ask the purpose.

I made blocks out of square and heavy stock for holders of a different style of collet. Mine are not super accurate but making a round one shouldn't be that hard to make real accurate.
