For this week’s #tooltalktuesday I wanted to show off the Collet Holder for the Foredom Bench Lathe, which was mentioned previously when we discussed the Wayne Werner Sanding Kit from @gessweinco this adapter screws onto your Foredom Bench Lathe (I purchased one specific to the right side of my lathe) and mine came with 3/32″, 1/8″ and 1/4″ collets. Also included: allen key, pin and wrench for mounting various size shanks. You need this collet if you want to use the sanding disc kit, but like I mention in the video it makes your bench lathe way more versatile and I think it’s worth the investment! Gesswein has them where you can purchase them individually if you search “Foredom® BL-1A Bench Lathe, Accessories and Replacement Parts” @riogrande has the entire set (Item #: 334028) as does @ottofrei1930 (Part # 134.375C) Thanks for checking it out and hope everyone has a great day!
