I do it all the time; just this morning gripped an aluminum off-cut by a mere 1/8". All you have to do is plop another short piece of the same diameter in the back end of the collet & grip away!:) I have a few hat shaped pieces of the most commonly used sizes all ready to go. :beer:

Like DICKEY says,I also have a full set of ER 40 collets and use the same trick as him if gripping short,stubby workpieces. I have a disc type collet chuck and also square and a hexagonal block collet holders which came from Arceurotrade.
The square and hex blocks a really handy if work is being transferred between lathe/shaper/pillar drill. Makes putting a hex on a piece a doddle in the shaper....OZ.

I haven't yet tried them yet as I just bought from RDG the oversize collets that go from 26 to 30 mm thus extending the capacity by a use full amount. I don't have a complete ER 40 set as I already had An ER 32 set so from twenty down was somewhat superfluous!
Cheers, Matthew

I saw some on the web, refurbished by maker the advert said. Don’t know what that means. But keep an eye out for you John. :coffee:
