Why no ER20 collet blocks

What am I missing ?

I'm guessing it's just not as popular a size

What am I missing ?

A lot of holding capacity?


There seems to be a dearth of ER20…….anything really.

Sucks as I spent good coin for a good set of accurate ER20 collets only to find this to be the case.

Yeah, I agree. In the ER series, 32 and 40 are by far the most popular. Therefore, in the retail world you produce for the market.
That’s my guess.

I bought a set of er20's for my Maximat 7 lathe/mill. along with a MT2/ER20 collet chuck.. 1/2" max size seemed as the right complement to it.
Then I see a "collet block".. and thought, that might be handy.. but no one makes one.

Maybe a new project?

A bit more than my little lathe/mill would tackle

This would work using a cheaper 5C block.
