Unfortunately, too far away for me. The collets are definitely not MT 1 from what I see in the picture.

The collets are definitely not MT 1 from what I see in the picture.

I agree. They look like B&S #4 taper or something very similar, depending on the scale of the picture.

This uses specialized collets. Depending on year - it looks like 1960s model 1A. For model A collets are impossible to get. For model 1A almost impossible to get but you can modify some rare collets to make it work.

I.e. without collets machine is more or less scrap - unless you make your own collets to take something like ER32 or ER25.

This is why the ad says it has collets.

The price of the machine is all over the place - if you can find them. Over 5000 were made.

The MT 1 female collet would take a MT 1 shank(male) drill bit or chuck
Sorry for the confusion

Very cool!

Wow - you have so many cool vintage machines. This one, the band saw, the drill press. All great looking.

What exactly is a Jig Borer used for?

 

[Frcsc6el8]

It was used for very accurate placement of holes for indexing pins in jigs
