Simple Low-Cost Lathe Tailstock Rotary Collet Chuck

Holding small diameter workpieces in a lathe often needs a tailstock-mounted rotating chuck. They are a lot of work to make and are not exactly cheap to buy. If you already have a rotating tailstock centre, this is a nice easy project to hold long and thin parts to help control chatter, singing and deflection. I'll be using it to make multiple circlip grooves at very precise spacings, but I've also used it to cut long single-point threads in 3 mm or 1/8" rod. It only has two parts plus some grubscrews and was a fun little project on a rainy afternoon to make my lathe even more useful than it already is.
Expect to see it appear in some upcoming machining videos!

@jimsiss correctly spotted that I accused that little Tesa 3 point bore mic of being a Mitutoyo at 14:36 Ooops. Also, using a Haimer in a drill chuck is definitely deprecated, but I tightened it not-a-lot. It's better to use a friction edge-finder as it would (probably) compensate for any runout in the chuck.

Such a relief to see someone actually does it the proper way and uses spot drills for pilot holes instead of using center drills!
-
This was all done so fantastically, I really loved it! You sir are doing some amazing things, know that it does not go unnoticed!!!
-
Dude, I think I’m getting it, You’ve really got the magic

This is the first of your videos that The Algorithm has seen fit to serve up to me, but the humor overall and especially your delivery on "impotent protest against imperialism and concentricity" just utterly slayed me, so well played, another channel on my list to chew through the backlog of.

The red tick at success discombobulates my OCD but congratulations on the finger mangler 5,000,000

Begging your pardon but 1.5" brass is not the sort of thing for cheapskates, at least not around here 😅
-
thank you sir.....cheers from the US, Paul
-
Oh nice, I've been meaning to make one of these as well!
-
I just came to my subscriptions after some chatter on a gunsmith forum... where we were discussing this exact thing. I should buy a lottery ticket.
-
Just found your channel glad I did.
-
Great humor from you & assistant. “…whatever that is in real money…” I’ll probably die before the US converts to metric, but what can you expect from folks who can’t even count votes? Thanks for all the excellent videos!
-
Gotta say well done, also your intro animation was pretty nice, my PC would probably blow up trying to render this in Inventor D:

I'm interested in seeing the grinding of the tool to cut the circlip groove and cutting the groove. Been watchin for it a long time, but haven't seen it yet on youtube.

Now I have a general idea how a company that specializes in making brass shotgun hulls does it. They are not cheap considering most of the brass goes to recycling around $99 dollars for 20 shells and that was 18 years ago. I ordered brass tubing from an east coast supplier in the states to redo a chandelier with polished brass "candlesticks". This stuff gives excellent results. Now to find a three jaw chuck for my Emco Compact 5 lathe. Still lots of projects to complete. This project looks fairly easy to complete. Nice job! What tool did you use to hold the tap wrench in the vertical position? I have one such tap handle with the center dimple on it, now we know what it’s for. 🤓

The Imperial measurement system was developed by craftsmen for craftsmen, if you know how to correctly apply it makes your projects more accurate and faster.

So, how many Centipedes in a Banana?

i love 3-point bore micrometers

Ok as usual I watch your videos 10 minutes each day because they are so good and I want them to last longer. Now that I'm at the end, may I ask - why not a solution like CEE's tail chuck?
