Has anyone bought or converted a Taig headstock to ER32 Collet
I am just sourcing the parts and will post results once finished .
Could have bought this but I think making one would be cheaper ,
I also want to integrate the factory 6 step pulley on to the conversion .

Factory bearings are 40mm in dia I will have to line bore the head to 42mm to accommodate
the 25mm x 42mm bearings to fit spindle , the sky is the limit when getting bearings - these can
be as cheep as $3.00 all the way up to $150.00 for full ceramics .
