Nick --- Quote ---Funny you mentioned about needing several hands to put end mills into the ER collets! I found the same myself the other day! --- End quote --- That is the reason I rave over the ballraced ER closing nut. You can tighten it up by hand enough to grip the cutter (even very loose ones), then come back and use the C spanner for the final tweak. The other way if you have a normal nut (unless you grow another hand), is to put a bit of brown stuff (wood) to rest the cutter on and in place while you tighten up. Bogs |

Bogs, Didn't know they existed, must have missed comments about those. Where would one buy one of those, or is it just part of a more expensive collet chuck? Nick ps I have to use some brown stuff for the base of my engine soon. I don't like wasting proper materials for things like bases! |

Nick, He only gets them in limited quantities, so they are not available all the time. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ER32-collet-chuck-Ball-Bearing-Clamping-Nut-Quality-NEW_W0QQitemZ220478456389QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_3?hash=item33558a4245&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1262 Bogs |

Nick I got one of them ball bearing clamp nuts after John sowed me one, a great buy makes tool changes easy, and they grip the tool like a Gorilla gripping a banana :ddb:. Have fun Stew |
