Chuck Wrenches

[jack]

Our unit did not come with wrenches, I have been using unwieldly large crescent wrenches, cannot find replacement wrenches on the Axiom site. Anyone know what sizes the two chuck wrenches are for the AR16Elite?

Have you contact customer service? That is where I would start, and tell that it didn’t come with wrenches. Given that it is a spindle, Im pretty sure it is supposed to. Now if its past the warranty, I can’t answer if they would be free, but I suspect they may be. If not I’m sure they would sell them to you. It may not be on the website, but then a lot of the parts wouldn’t be. They are extremely good and supportive of their products from what I have seen and experienced first hand.

Thank you for the reply.
Our machine sat in storage for a year before I arrive, then sat for another 9 months before being used, so I believe it is out of warrantee. The 1/4" collet was missing too and it was a chore to deal with the company to receive another one.
Can anyone answer my original question?

Even with the delay in getting it going, I think you would be surprised at the level of support that they provide. Mine sit for 2 1/2 years because I didn't have time to "get my mind around learning the difference from my old Shark HD machine. I think there was a post recently where someone had bought a set of wrenches. You might do a search on old posts and see if you can find it. Again, I am pretty sure they will sell you parts(if not give them to you because they were missing)

I have the AR6 Pro and it looks we both have the same spindle.  My wrenches measure 21mm and 30mm.  I see the 30mm is readily available as an ER20 collet nut wrench on various websites.  I’m sure you can easily find a 21mm wrench for the spindle itself.

30mm fits the collet nut and 21mm fits the spindle.  I use a couple spanner wrenches that are more comfortable to my hands and not too long to where I won't put too much torque on the nut.

Here's an excellent source for collets, collet nuts and spanners wrenches. Also, their bits are choice. I plan to put in an order shortly for replacement collets and collet nuts.
