I have been looking for an adapter of some kind to be able to use 5-C Collets on our CNC Lathe which currently uses
the "S-30" collet pads.
Currently using a small 3-jaw chuck with a 5-C taper on it. Holding the 3-jaw chuck in a 1-3/4 x 1-3/4 chuck adapter and holding that inside my "S-30" 1-3/4 x 1-3/4 square collet pads.
It works, but would like to be able to utilize the
chuck clamp and unclamp of the machine with the 5-c collets.
Does anyone know of such a thing?
Thanks in Advance.

A 5c collet closer that mounts directly to your spindle,such as, a2-6, is very common. Search for collet chucks on ebay and you will see several. I bought the s-30 collets and have not used them yet. If you no longer need yours, I might buy them. What is your spindle mount? I might trade you a 5c chuck.
