Re: Today: making a crown wheel core
Nice image. Is that an 8mm collet?
If so, what brand of collets are you using, and do you like them?
I have a Webster Whitcomb lathe, but so far only 5 collets for it, which I bought from Sherline.

Have a look on Aliexpress Chris, search for Lasdem or 6104 lathe should get you a few of the Chinese options. They use the WW drawbar and collets, maybe worth buying just the one to see what they are like.

Sorry for the late reply. Phone change. Took a while to get everything sorted.
It is a 8mm Wolf Jahn WW lathe. I have collets from different makes, but most of them are branded Crawford, Wolf Jahn or Leinen. I found that the thread pitch of the Lorch ones is a bit different, so they don't fit my draw bar well.
