Features

This collet attachment takes advantage of the South Bend factory-made collet port in the lathe gear cover. This accessory installs easily on the listed South Bend Lathes without having to modify the gear cover. The Model SB1264/ SB1268 is capable of delivering years of troublefree service. It is manufactured with the same high-quality workmanship, materials, and tolerances South Bend machinery is known for.

For ease of use, a collet attachment lever locks the 5-C collet and workpiece in place. To ensure accurate clamping pressure, a chuck sleeve with a thumb operated lock lever allows the length of the draw tube to be lengthened or shortened in ﬁne increments. For speedy installation and removal of the entire collet attachment assembly, this unit is designed with a quick-release clevis and pin that has an overall slide-out design.
