Hi, I've got the SB9A and don't have any collets and was wondering what kind are the least expensive. I heard that there are only 2 types that work, the C3s which need some sort of rod going thru the spindle to hold them on and the other option is ER32 collet chuck. I've heard some of the ER32 chucks have concentricity problems. I don't want to spend a ton of money so I'll probably go to CR or ebay to find a deal (if there ever is one!) but before I do I need to know what I'm looking for!
BTW, I also will be hunting for a boring head, but not sure what type is compatible. My tailstock takes MT2.
I understand there's been people who make their own boring heads but I'm not sure my small homemade mill could handle the dovetail cut that's needed to make it.
Thanks
