The collet set arrived in good time and I've been having
a play with it.

I am knocked out with the quality of it for, not a bad price.

I do quite a lot of pen making, using, normally, a mandrel which
has always been ok, but I feel that TBC using this collet, seemed
even smoother and totally vibration-free.

I made a dead centre from polyethylene and am pleased
with the outcome. Just for the hell of it, and to test my
'talent', I'm gonna try make a live centre for the tailstock.
Wish me luck !!

So, onwards and upwards and, as usual, thankyou all for
your advice and suggestions.

Best wishes - Jim

Glad the collet has arrived even though I don't use mine all the time I do find it very handy for some jobs. Have sent you a PM earlier
