For sale is a vintage, heavy-duty 5C collet workholding/chucking fixture manufactured by Kalamazoo Industries, Inc. (stamped under their classic "Kal Industries, Inc. - Kalamazoo, Mich." factory mark).
Perfect for machine shops, gunsmiths, or home hobby machinists using a mill or drill press.
Features & Details:
- Industrial Cast Iron: Solid, heavy-walled cast-iron body designed to dampen vibration and resist flexing.
- 5C Collet Compatible: Spindle accepts standard, readily available 5C collets to secure round, hex, or square stock.
- Dual-Orientation Mounting: Flat ground base and rear face let you mount it either horizontally or vertically on your table slots.
- Split-Collar Locking: Features a robust split-ring clamp on the nose to lock the workpiece dead-length during heavy cutting or indexing.
Condition:
Authentic workshop patina on the exterior, but structurally rock-solid. Threads are in great shape, and the internal bore is smooth. A great piece of American-made tooling built to last several lifetimes. Brand new modern equivalents from Kalamazoo run $400+.
Price: $200 OBO. Cash only.
