After work today I will pick up an EMCO 8.6 lathe, with no tooling save
a faceplate. It's cheap enough to make it a no-brainer, tooling or no.
http://dallas.craigslist.org/tls/741503936.html
So what kind of spindle nose will this thing have?
Is there a source for chucks and collet closer at something less than
Austrian prices?
Anything else I need to know about these?
Part it out?
Suggestions?

There are a couple of Yahoo groups relating to Emco machines.
Try this one:
http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/emcoV10lathe/
I've found them helpful.
Blue Ridge Machinery has some EMCO parts, but they are a bit pricey.

Please log in for more thread options I'll check those out.
I'm already on about 200 groups, surprised I didn't think of that.
There is almost literally a group for every interest.

The chuck seemed high at $385, but a lot of the other stuff wasn't that
bad. $170 for a steady rest, $185 for change gears.
Thanks

================
I don't know for sure as the Emco had different spindle noses for
different markets, but my Emco compact 10 has a D1-4 mount.
Chucks are available through Harbor Freight on up.
Most of larger American market Emcos with a D1-4 spindle nose
appear to have the spindle with a *STUB* #5 morse taper so a 5C
collet adapter is available. The spindle bore however is stepped
down so the actual size of material you can run through the
spindle is perhaps 3/4 inch.

One source of specifically Emco parts in the US is Blue Ridge

for one source of "store bought" collet closers see
http://www.royalprod.com/product.cfm?catID=3
given the prices, this appears to be a case where "rolling your
own" makes good economic sense.

While for Southbend the following may give you some ideas
http://www.tools4cheap.net/proddetail.php?prod=5cnose&cat=10
also see the 3c closer close to top of page
http://www.tools4cheap.net/products.php?cat=10
[stick with 5C collets as these are much cheaper]
Good luck, and let the group know how you make out.
