Looking for a Delta Collet
Ron Dudelston posted a topic in Machinery, Tools, Research, Reviews and Safety
I have a friend that just bought a Delta 43-379 shaper and it is missing a 1/2” collet. Collet part number is 698799. Anyone have a spare one that they want to sell? Message me here on site -
There are some things you shouldn't tell anyone.....
Steve Krumanaker posted a topic in Wood Turners
but I'm going to tell you anyway. Some days............weeks.................months....I can be pretty dumb. Usually, I'm pretty good about putting things back where they go. Once in a while though, I get into a project and tools fall where they may. Well, a few months ago I was using my collet chuck and needed the 1/4" insert. Looked in the box and it wasn't there, I thought, okay, it's probably in the side pocket of my smock, wasn't there. Sometimes, not paying attention I'll put an item in the drawer above or below where it belongs. Checked, it wasn't there. By now, I'm wracking my brain, thinking about where I may have stuck it. Looked back in the box, still wasn't there. Cleared my work bench, that's a favorite trick when I can't find something but still didn't find the collet. Started going through cabinets, drawers, bins, etc etc. Finally, after several searches over a few weeks I decided it must've fallen in shavings and I'd thrown it away. This morning, I found it. It was in the box the whole time. Never mind the simple logic that told me they were all there since there are only five collets in the set. If you look under the one tool handle you can the 1/4" opening inside the larger opening. I had put the collet where it goes, except upside down, saw the larger opening and chose to believe I'd misplaced it. doh, I could be in the movie dumb and dumber and play both roles. Steve
