lathe-tooling

Take what you need from this collection of generic lathe tooling, designed by my own hands using FreeCAD. I'll be sharing many of these models with the public - this initial batch marks the beginning of that process. Keep in mind that there are no threads on the collets or collet chucks because they don't require them; these models were primarily created for visual aids like setup sheets and simulations. Although many dimensions are precise to spec, note that the bolt pattern and ID taper on the collet chucks conform to the ASNT A2-6 standard. The diameters and angles of the collets themselves are accurate, with the live center modeled according to the M5 standard. If you have any questions or need further clarification, don't hesitate to reach out.
