What Did You Buy Today?

[DavidR8]

I just bought myself a new Christmas present, I bought a ER 40 x D1-4 collect chuck assembly and a set of new ER 40 collet set, also added in a R8 x ER 40 collet chuck

I did the same except I went the 5C route. Debated long and hard and did a ton of research.
It really was the 5C spindexer that was the deciding factor.

Ah the proverbial rabbit hole that collet collecting can become. After an er set on an R8 that wouldn't fit my older version mill, came an MT3 set that fit but took up too much space. Solution was direct MT3 collets. Then came the spindexer & 4 & 6 sided collet holders for 5C. I use it often & enjoy the wide range of sizes. Next came small & large dividing heads with their 5V & 50V collets. It can be a very deep rabbit hole LOL.

i also have a 5C collet chuck and collets, I purchased this to cover all the bases, I‘ll be able to use the collets in the lathe and the mills.

Bruce,
You seem to win every time.
You kinda suck my friend.

Thanks!

I had to stop him after a bit. Once he got started going through stuff the momentum was getting overwhelming. Had to stop him before I became a new homeowner!
