    Adjustable lathe backstop using ER collet for adjustment.

    The backstop body expands and the 6 balls lock it securely in place by gripping the spindle bore. The backstop rod can then be adjusted with the Er collet nut. The rod can reach the front of the chuck jaws when fully inserted. It has a tapped hole in the end to accommodate various ends to suit specific applications.
