Funny. I wound up painting mine, as the car came from Atlantic City and the salt hazed the red powder coating. I wish I had them re-coated, but I painted instead. I was replacing all pads, seals, boots, and rotors so why the hell not?
The captive spring steel ring in the handle is definitely the good stuff. Handle slides smooth and predictably, instead of the old ball detent 3 position style.
i have not bought it yet, but when i first got the lathe, i was thinking ever since then, that it was a D1-4, well i went to pull the chuck off so that i could clean the inside of the spindle and all! And to my amazement, it is a D1-3! Now I wonder, how many Emco Super 11's have a D1-3 on it? Anywho, what this boils down to, is that i will be needing a ER setup. I would like a 40, the biggest material i would prob hold in the ER collets would a tad over one inch. It is that or i'll have to get a ER collet block and mount it in the 4 jaw on the lathe..
What is your opinion about stuff from HHIP? The have a D1-3 direct mount ER40

Now please tell me that inserting that rod in the hole was not a satisfying experience!!! The tap wrenches I have used in the past were carp... when I got that one (I got all three sizes as well), man!, the first time I had to use it, the way you can insert and remove the handle is brilliant.... Just felt great.
I am not one to tempt people... but you really should get one of these (or better yet, all three sizes)... using it is like caressing a freshly powder coated Brembo caliper for a Porsche... trust me on this... the tactical feel of using these is something else... excuse me, I need a moment alone... will be right back...
Before I got that. I would look at the PM offering first, as it is a set tru style. That is if you have a D1-4 (also has just 3 cam-locks so measure if you haven’t…) the majority of your run out will be solved with that. Then a bearing style nut would help, but marginally less that of the set tru.
Ok, I thought there was a usage that I wasn't thinking of. My generals are captured, they don't come out as far as I know. Which is fine. I like them like that.
