What Did You Buy Today?

i was over there on that page, missed that one..it is in 16ths

What, exactly, is "it"?

The 18 piece ER32 set, that I linked to, shows up fine for me.
The picture and the nomenclature NOT are congruent.
Only 16 collets in the picture.

Edit = NOT

Nope. The description isn't congruent. It contradicts the title.

You're right. Only 16 collets in the picture. OMG!
I don't think you should buy anything from such an irresponsible supplier.

Update: the collets fit beautifully into my Iscar collet chuck. The "click" when you have the collet correctly aligned and gently press is incredibly satisfying. The 1/2 shank tool slid easily into the uncompressed collet, and the action of tightening up the collet felt more... Definite, I guess? I'm used to my ER collets feeling squishy as they get tightened. Different beast, and well worth the spondulix spent. I bought my set from KBC: https://www.kbctools.com/itemdetail/7-520-04212

if you put a slightly smaller round into one, will it eject it after fully tightening it down?

I bought a *well used* plain back Bison 8” 3-jaw scroll chuck on eBay. It was $225 + tax + shipping for a total of $324. Actual UPS shipping from CT to CA was $79!

I could have bought a new chuck from China for a *lot* less, but I really like the Polish chucks that I have & use.

This is not going on a lathe. It is going on a welding positioner (a manually controlled rollout wheel).

damn, your going to ruin a good chuck..
