Nice job Mike! I'll be copying this soon since I just bought the same collet block set.

Thank you very much T.J.!!!
i hope you have fun making your wrench!!!
i'd like to see your version when you are done :grin:
 
Nice job, till you said something I never paid attention to the fact that most of the set I have seen do not have the spanner with them. Again nice job.

Thank you very much Ken.
i agree, it's kinda like getting a car without a spare tire :fatigue:

It's kind of like getting a car without the ignition key, a non starter. You can tear up the knurled nut with a water pump pliers, kind of like hot wiring a car...
When I got mine I used the shank end of a drill bit that fit the hole until I got a pin spanner wrench that fit, it was a bit painful and awkward but it worked. :eek 2:
 
REally nice work Doc, they look well made and of course nothing beats the satisfaction of making something that's so well designed and solidly built.
It bugged me a bit when I found my ER 32 collets, (and chuck) did not come with the proper wrench, there's no way you can tighten /loosen the nut without damaging it, I did buy the wrench separately but after seeing yours I think I should have made one,still might.

Yea, the last couple of cars we purchased did not have spares, I was like what the over, They have now done that to save weight.
And a way to charge you more to order one. Also does not have lug wrench etc Just a lttle air compressor that I felt would not air up a ball.

Thank you Ken for your kind words.

Why would a car come without a spare???
i can understand cutting some corners, but that's ridiculous :blue:
