Minor update, a 5 pack of LRV08 batteries was just ordered from HongKong for 3,45$ including shipping :thumbup:
Thanks! A very skilled engine builder I know of, once said "The guys who put this together weren't any smarter than you." That about sums up the attitude he has to things, and he is one of those guys people go to when everything else has failed. I'm not that smart.. :lol:
Selling, who's talking about that? Well, I guess it's allways good to have as an option.
If you go to cdco machinery - all sorts of die makers tools - R8, 5C, 3C, ER, MT Taper Collets & Accessories. Second to the bottom, you find the kit :thumbup:

I like the way you are going about cleaning, repairing and setting up your mill. If it doesn't work, take it apart watching how the pieces were placed. Figure out how it is supposed to work and why it doesn't then remedy the situation with adjustment, replaced or repaired parts. :doh:
Finesse will usually win every time. A BIG hammer is not usually the answer. I also like the way you put the anti-seize compound on the threads. If you keep the mill for a long time and ever have tear it down a down again you will be thankful. :D
I enjoy watching this so will be following along on future posts. :ddb: :ddb:
While I was posting this you made another post so will comment on that here. With work like you are doing here you will be "one of those guys people go to when everything else has failed". :ddb: :ddb:
Cheers :beer:

I don't see why they won't work. I do believe that each one of those collets will take a range of sizes. Just don't force a tool bigger that the dimension of the holder. Also the other way around. Don't squeeze it beyond what it was designed to hold and you shouls be Ok.

Trion,
I think metric ER collets are much easier to use with metric tooling. My ER25s are metric, holding 16 down to 15mm, 15 down to 14mm etc. If I slide a 6mm shank into the 6 down to 5mm collet, it will hold in place while I tighten up the closing nut. If I put a 1/4" shank in the 7 - 6mm collet, a third hand is needed to hold there while I tighten up. In the the set you linked to, each collet shrinks by 1/16"/1.59mm, so (for example) you would have to use a 1/2" collet for a 12mm shank and a 7/16" one for a 10mm shank - that one would have to shrink down about 1.1mm to get a grip.
Gloster Tooling in the UK do some reasonably priced metric sets - http://www.glostertooling.co.uk/Download/Engineers%20tool%20catalogue.pdf and go to page 22. Collet chucks are on earlier pages.
Of course, if you will only be using tools with fairly large shanks, you could buy a few individual collets in the larger sizes.

Thanks for the kind words :wave:
Very good point there Andy, I would never have thought of that before I was standing there, short of one arm.. GlosterTooling had quite a few interresting things, but were a bit pricier than cdco machinery. Will have to consider that one a bit..
Yesterday I went to the local paint shop and bought some cheap metal paint. The seller couldn't guarantee me that it would last in oil and coolant, so i bought a bit to make a test.
The color doesn't match perfectly, but we'll se when it gets a few more layers and dries properly. Then I need to buy some coolant and mix it up, before i lay the test pieces in it for a couple of days
