Shars 5" ER40 Zero Set Fine Adjustment Collet Chuck

Thanks David. I've looked at your threads before... immaculate work I might add. What you did made complete sense... using the 100mm collet chuck was a smart move with that spacer. But I won't be using a spacer, and the Shars 125mm version appealed to me more because I already have a D1-4 matching plate. Unfortunately, Shars doesn't have them in stock and the question is if they'll get any more. The only place I can find them is on eBay, but don't know the good sellers from the bad. Thanks anyway.
 
The title and price was raised/changed due to one item remaining. If the listing goes to zero, e-bay will close the listing and we would need to re-write the entire post. As soon as the inventory is replenished, the price/title will fall back in line. The ETA on the next shipment is around 30-60 days
 
Yes! I was finishing my purchase list when I noticed it was still in my cart but the out of stock notice was gone.

I'm now waiting for midnight CST time :)
 
20% off doesn't start until midnight.
 
I use a ER 32 but I machined down a backplate, mine came from Grizzly because odd cam lock chuck. Then I machined an aluminum plate to fit the adapter on and bolted it to the backplate. The adapter was turned on the lathe While mounted to the backplate. Of course I left the register a
.005 so I could adjust the adapter for runout

Sorry to raise an older thread but wondering about this setup since I'm in the market for collets for my Bridgeport I recently acquired. I also have a PM 1340gt. I'd like to be able to use the collets in both so thinking of going ER40 and that led me to this thread. As others mentioned I am not wanting to go MT5 on the chuck and have to use a drawbar to allow long stock.

Are folks using the Shars Zero Set still happy with it after a while?

May not have been available when this thread started but I see Shars does have a D1-4 backplate for a very reasonable price. At current Shars website prices I could get the zero set chuck, bearing nut & backplate all for about 250 (+ ship). This is attractive from a price point of view.

Anyone else have experience with the Shars D1-4 backplate? The price has me wondering about a "get what you pay for" disappointment if I go that way. Always a risk I know. But sometimes I get pleasantly surprised too.

Thanks for any input!

Still running mine. No problems to report with it or the D1-4 mount.
