help identifying valve refacer collet

[99R/T]

I just bought an old Snap-On valve refacer (made by K.O.Lee, also sold under the B&D and Winona brands) and the spring collet was damaged- one of the spring arms snapped- during shipping.

Can anyone tell me what other collets might be adaptable to this application? I can't seem to find any replacement parts through the manufacturers, it seems everything has been discontinued.

Everything else on the machine works great and its been freshened up recently. It just has 0.050" runout at the valve There's gotta be a way to fix it.

Thanks,

John

Your local Snap On guy probably won't be much help but if you can find the B&D model equivelant, I think you can get the part you're after. Search Google using any / all known model numbers of the machine. There are quite a few suppliers out there still.

[color=#000000]Have you checked with Goodson?



I think this is what you are looking for it's on page 39 of the Goodson PDF catalog:

Collet for Black & Decker Valve Refacers

A friend of mine has a Quikway facer and I think if I remember right it uses a collet just like that.

I have one of those collets that you can have, but it has some runout.
I converted mine to ER25 collets, I ca`nt seem to get it deadnuts but got to less than .001, still have to hunt for that sweet spot.

email me at Jginger1942@aol.com if your interested.

p.s. I posted that I used ER25 collets, that is incorrect I used
ER20 collets
