Unknown Moseley collet

[JackH]

I bought this along with a number of Moseley 8mm collets. Does anyone know what this is used for? It is about 18.5mm in diameter. Thanks!

It seems to have a thread in the bore? Could be for holding cement brass pieces, that get heated and hold parts with shellac.

 

Might not be Moseley either; they had their "conoidal" taper which was a curve, and also more standard 20 degree head taper, but long compared to standard collets. This has a homemade aspect to me.

Thanks for your reply. It is stamped Moseley on the side. It came with a set of 5 Moseley wheel chucks. It does look homemade.

Ah I missed the stamp . It was perhaps a blank arbor to be turned/drilled as needed; it would be less hard (or unhardened) in that case.

Roller remover. Watch from beginning and it will explain all.
