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
