hi John, thanks for getting back to me , i followed the line to Axminster and saw the collet you suggested , my question now is which pen manrel do i buy , the standard one which comes in either 1,2 morse taper or a straight fitting and how do these attach to the collet, and they also offer a deluxe mandrel and again how would i attach this to the drive ,they also mention what thread i would prefer but i have no idea. sorry if these are stupid questions but i cant see a discription or diagram where i can put it together in my mind , i dont want to spend my money then realise i have the wrong thing.i checked out your site and found the demos excellent and i will be attempting a few of you projects myself and thanks again for your help.
Peter
