Looking For Metric End Mill Holders
« on: November 06, 2011, 12:55:17 PM »
My search so far has been futile. Busy Bee sells Metric end mills but the shanks are also metric, and they don't sell metric end mill holders. I searched the interweb and came up empty handed. Anyone have a source?

Not sure about specifics in Canada - but, depending on the frequency with which you'll change the endmills - but you might also consider an ER solution - e.g. ER25 or ER32.  Collets have a nominal (maximum) size, but they aren't single size such as 1/4" or 7mm - as each collet typically has a 1 mm parallel compression range.

Arceurotrade has some good prices but the shipping to Canada is a bit rich.  ₤35.00 for 4 holders. That's about $55.00 Cdn. Any links to a North American source? I will also look into the ER collets.
