Edge Technology 45-000 5C Collet Stop Review of overall performance and how accurate this tool is when facing small parts to size. I also use DRO Tool Offsets to make these small parts on a manual lathe as efficiently as possible.
The small knife spacers are made from 17/64 Grade 5 Titanium using an Atlas hand wheel collet chuck on my PM 1440TL Lathe. I wanted to speed up my process a little so I purchased this collet stop to make it faster facing all these small parts to length. I also took a few minutes to set up the tool offsets in my DRO for the 4 tools I needed to make these. This really helped me speed up the process for making 54 of these little parts. There are a few variables you are dealing with for repeatability with this collet stop and ultimately the accuracy was not as good as I thought it would be; however, it was still plenty good for this project.
Facing, drilling and parting grade 5 (6AL4V) titanium is not that difficult as long as you keep your tools sharp and stay ahead of the heat.
Overall, I would recommend this Edge Technology 5C Collet Stop, it accomplished what I needed to for this project and the price was worth the investment IMO.
Thanks for watching!
