I saw some at plaza machinery, but they seemed high dollar. Why not opt for a collett chuck? As soon as I finish mine I'll sell you my set of 2A's

I have a set of 2A collets that are Southbend almost complete. These are very nice collets and are not cheap. I paid around $13 each for them but you would not be disappointed. Do you have the collet chuck and thread protector? I have a 1917 lathe but the lathe has the smaller 1-3/4 thread and 3/4 thru hole in the spindle so it will not take the 2A collets.

1917 lathe

With regard to the 1917 lathe,it probably could be fitted for the 3C collett.I have made two of those drawbars,and 2 closing sleeves,as well as the nose caps.It is a time consuming job if you use pipe because you have to turn down the whole length of the drawbar tube,using a follower rest.A slow power feed will put a nice finish on it.
