Emco Compact 8 Collet chuck and collets

[Peter Weaver]

Hi, does anyone know if the original collet chuck which takes ESX25 collets will also take ER25 collets properly?

Regards
Peter

For anyone else who might want to know the answer, in the future, I have found out that they are the same. I have decided to forget about the ER25 collets as I need 20mm so I have decided to fit an ER32 collet chuck.

Regards
Peter

Hi Peter,
Have you managed to get an ER32 colletchuck running on the C8?

Hi Max,

I know it has been a long time, but yes I bought an emco back plate and an ER32 collet chuck and machined it to fit and it's perfect.

Peter
