Hi y'all,
I've been enjoying this site for a long time, but only just joined as I am hoping
someone can enlighten me on the subject of collets.
Basically, I want the ability to hold wooden dowels from, let's say 6mm up to about 17mm,
rather than using my four jaw chuck. I want the holder to run in my morse taper1 fixing and
I've read so much, that I'm totally confused with ER numbers, straight, tapered, thread
sizes, nut sizes etc etc. I presume that collets are much more common within the metal working area, and this
is a subject I have no knowledge of whatsoever.
If any kind member can spend a bit of time letting me know exactly what I would need
to buy, I'll be kind to my wife for the evening !!!!!
Thanks in advance, also, thanks for all the previous pleasure and knowledge
I have got from this site....
best wishes - Jim
