I recently picked up a Nichols vertical head for my tool room model Nichols horizontal mill. The head came with an adapter for 4NS collets and two 4NS collets -- 3/8ths and 1/2 inch. Does anyone out there have any 4NS collets of other sizes they'd like to sell? While I can do a lot with the 2 collets I have, I'd like to follow up on the possibility of acquiring a few more before I decide to move to another type of adapter for collets of a different type that are more readily available. I'm aware of the 4NS thread from March of this year and would like to continue the discussion if possible. I know the 4NS are hard to find and notice one listing on eBay for quite a few, but out of my budget range.
Also, a kind member of this forum recently sent me a Nichols spindle and some other parts for shipping cost only. I'd like to pass on what I don't need from this haul to others on this forum who might be interested, again for just the cost of shipping. Here's what I have:
WC134 Spindle
WA 566 Rear spindle bearing
WA 494 Rear bearing cap
WA 495 Spindle sleeve
WA 566 Front bearing
WA 502 Flinger front bearing
WA 1538 shaft pivot (for tilting the head)
WA 1306 Rear pivot cap
WA 1305 Front pivot cap
WL 13-01 Dial for transverse feed
WK 6 Transverse feed screw
WB 411 Post keyed saddle
WL Transverse nut
The transverse feed parts look like they've never been used. The rest is in good/great condition. I can post photos for those interested.
