Hi William

Thank you very much for replying to my question - I really appreciate the help! I really like what you have made here and am keen to give this a try. I will also try and see if I can find further references on another forum to see if I gan garner any more tips.

Again - many thanks.

Ian

The threaded collet issue is important aswell Internal threaded collets were only avaliable in 6mm, 1/4", 3/8" and 10mm if you have them you are well set up! I made up a 6mm and 1/4" fc3/weldon/side lock shank arbors that go directly in the spindle which I use all the time. I intend to make other sizes when time allows.

I hope the OP doesn't mind that I am hijaking this thread a little but I couldn't help it! William do you have any more details you could share on making your own collets for a BCA? My skills probably are not there yet to take this on but I am willing to try! I'd love to make up a couple of metric threaded collets if I could. I am lucky enough to have a 1/4 and 3/8 version.

Thanks you

Ian
