Collet chuck identification please guys.

got this chuck with my lathe, no collets came with it & I’d like to start collecting them.

what are your thoughts? Burnerd multisize? Thats my guess so far lol.

EC2-EC13 ?
there are no markings or designations anywhere on the chuck at all, it is fitted with D1-3 mount for a colchester bantam.

or … maybe its NOT a collet chuck & im barking up the wrong tree ?

I suggest you might start your journey here: **LINK**

Like this sir?

Looks like your EC2 range collet choice is correct, check the dimensions of your chuck taper to compare with collet data to confirm.

Cheers Emgee, what are you basing your assumption on? Do you have an EC chuck? Is it just the general look of it ?

Glad your guess agrees with mine, hopefully these pictures stay on as i messed it up first time like a numpty lol.

hopefully i’ll get a few more agreeing with you, i’ll start looking around to buy the collets then.

thanks again for your response.

Wow, thank you Mr Parkin, that does indeed look like mine … guess i was nervous as there are no designation, markings, makers mark or stamp … nothing !

does yours have anything written on it ?

John C was kind enough to suggest i scotchbrite it cleaner & hopefully reveal something, but still nothing lol.

Mr Noo

theres only the size written on each collet

nothing as far as i can see on the chuck

Rotagrip have some info. on the various-sized Burnerd collets in this document:

http://www.rotagriponline.com/datasheets/Pratt/PrattChuckSpares.pdf

Briefly, there was EB, EC and ED. EC is by far the most common and the other sizes are unlikely on D1-3.

Please also read the information here:

https://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/threads/today-i-acquired.50192/page-1490

concerning the closing ring of early models needing modification to accept 'E'-series collets.

Thanks to Mr John C (above)

he kindly messaged me saying he had a full collet set for sale.

great price & in great used condition.

They turned up today & i couldn’t be more satisfied with them.

So thank you again sir 👍.

btw …. Anyone got a spare case ??? 🤣🤣

If you don’t ask, you don’t get 🤞🤞
