RAMCO TK380 Collet Assy Removal
RAMCO TK380 Collet Assy Removal
I need to remove the 5C collet mounting assembly from a TK380 to mount a 3 jaw chuck. The back part is easy. I lift a pin and the tube with tightening assy slide right out. However, there is a nose piece that the collet sits in on the other end. How does it come off?

It most likely fits into the spindle taper.
You may be able to tap it out using an aluminum rod through the spindle bore.
I use a bearing splitter to pop mine out as I'm not real wild about hammering against spindle bearings.

Hello, I just joined the group. Do you know where I could find a manual for the Ramco TK380 Lathe?
