Hold the threaded end in the 3 Jaw and part off the desired length.

A method I used before I bought a ER 32 collet set, was to make/modify a 'Grub Screw', same size and thread as that on the appropriate threaded milling cutter. A centre hole in one end and a screwdriver slot in the other.

Screw the grub screw into the collet (from the collet nose) just far enough for the collet nut to close the collet just before reaching the end of the thread. Insert the cutter and tighten.

Not quite as secure as a threaded cutter but with care, allows the use of unthreaded cutters in an Osborne type chuck.

Hello again.

Many thanks for the comments. The videos seem to have been viewed more in the last couple of days than the previous 6 months. That should tell me something.

Phil. In response to your suggestion, I haven't posted links anywhere except the one here. I just uploaded them to YouTube and assumed that they would appear alongside videos showing similar content, obviously not.

This response is encouraging and I may have a go at some more.

Thanks again.

Hello Again.

So far so good. Thanks for the welcome.

Reading posts on this forum over the last year or two, I have been steered toward some interesting you-tube videos showing other builders work. A few months ago, between projects I decided to use my new compact camera and attempt a couple of my own videos and post them to you-tube. This seemed to work, the videos were the sort that I like to watch when made by others but they have had very few views.

My query is what am I doing wrong (or not doing right). I will attempt to post a link to the appropriate page and would appreciate any comments.

**LINK**

That didn't work quite as I had hoped but should be enough to get there.

Thanks in anticipation.

Hello All. I have been a member of this site for a number of years without queries or contributions and learned a great deal. I have tried on a few occasions to post comments without success. Trying again, I have had to re-register to login but now I might be successful.

I have a reasonable Workshop, (Myford, Warco VMC) and a number of accessories made/collected over the years.

I will now post this and if it works, I can come back with a query on which I am sure, someone can enlighten me.
