I've looked all over the web, can't seem to find what I need. I have to make about 200 hex nuts from 11/32" steel hex (.156 thick, non-standard) and plasn to use the 5C collet chuck. Does anyone happen to have a good used 11/32 hex 5C collet they would be willing to sell me ? Every where I look, they come only in 1/16" increments.
 
Can't say that I've seen a 11/32" hex collet but I'm sure they make them. Use your 3 jay chuck if you have one.

Edit: just did a quick search. MSC has them. About $37.

That's 11/16", I need 11/32.
My 3 jaw chuck doesn't run near as true as the collet chuck
 
Sorry. I misread the size.

Nope, if it was a year around job, no problem, but for one or 2 runs of nuts, price is everything
 
Just a question. If you are making nuts why would the variation in a three jaw chuck have any impact on the finished product nuts?
 
I made a pile a while back and quite a few of the holes were off center

If you are responding to my post the MSC part number for a 11/32" hex collet is 35505668. Price $36.69 plus shipping. Hope this helps.
