Thanks to you both for your replies. I'll investigate. I hear what you say about prices!

Hello. I've been using unimat/compact lathes for years but am self-taught and seriously unqualified!. I've been lucky enough to acquire a Compact 5, and would like your opinions on a collet holder for it, in the absence of the official Emco version.

I've had bad luck with collets in the past, including on an original spindle Cowells, and a Proxxon. My Unimat 3 style holder works well, and the direct spindle insertion on my Minilor also works; I'm therefore rather nervous of the bolt-on types. One German trader on Ebay sells some simple types for various MT bores that go straight into the spindle with no holder or locking device, and another one sells what seems to be a direct Emco-style substitute (bolt-on).

Any comments from yourselves gratefully received, with thanks.

Geoff
