Clausing collet closer wanted

[BJahn]

I've got a Clausing 5914 (13"x36" variable speed) and am looking for a collet closer but can't decide between ER or C5 collets. Anyone have comments about one or the other...or a closer for sale for this lathe?

I built an ER40 collet set up for my SB10K and it works fine for what i do. I don't think its as accurate as the 5C set up on my SB10L and you can't get sq or hex collets for the ER's. Have you checked with Clausing for a new set up? bet they aren't cheap either...Bob PICS>>> http://groups.yahoo.com/group/southbend10k/
