I bought Taig ER-16 collet holders that thread onto the 3/4 -16tpi spindles of my Taig lathe and Sherline machines.
All was well except there was more runnout than I liked. I thought it was the collets, so I bought a nice Techniks set of collets to replace the cheap set I had. Still had runnout. After much pondering and lots of checking I came to the conclusion that the ER-16 collet holding nuts were not cut true.
Long story short. I bought new collet holding nuts and the problem was solved.
