How are you guys holding odd-size tools in your 3/4-16 Sherline spindles? So far all I can find is solid end mill holders and MT1 collets, neither of which have any clamping size range to speak of.
I have found Chinese MT1 shank ER collet chucks, which would have a few advantages: collets I can share with the manual mill, no size gaps, and repeatable tool lengths (it's a CNC). Has anybody used these? Are there any terrible rigidity issues?
I'm quite surprised I haven't found any ER chucks for the Sherline 3/4-16 thread.
