hi,
i have a smal lathe(not cnc) 12"x28" 1kw.
i want to get into small engine constraction for hobby and from what i read there is a significant required precision for that kind of machining.
from what i read so far the 3jaw chucks is the lesser acurasy.
i am thinking to attach a er32 colet chuck on my small lathe for turning axles or similar obgects more precicely. also some objects need to atached in an arbor and then this arbor to atached at the 3jaw chuck or the collet system.
please correct me if i am wrong . also need your help on how to atach the er32 colet system.
1)the spindle has a MT4 taper but no drawbar. can i atach a er32 chuck with mt4 taper? ( without drawbar???)
2)can i purchase a er32 chuck with straight shank and pput it on the 3jaw chuck?
3) should i buy a ready plate with er32 colet and simply bolt it to the spindle?
please forgive my questions but i am newbie and do not know where to start from.
these are what i read and understand so far.
thanks!!
