Phil, Mike and Dave,

Many thanks for your replies and help, I understand now

. I bought milling cutters with a plain shank. I misread the info on the Warco wbsite about the chuck being interchangeable, which just means that it's possible to use imperial or metric collets in the same chuck.

Regards,

Ed.

Hi Everyone,

I am new to the Model Engineer forums and also to machine tools. I've recently purchased a milling machine and a 2MT collet chuck set to go with it. I've included some photos below.

The issue I have is, if I rotate the collet so that it slides further into the chuck, the clamping nut will screw on all the way without tightening the collet and the collet spins around freely.

The only way I can get a collet to tighten onto a cutting tool is to put the collet in so that "Side A" (in the bottom photo) rests against the grub screw. But this seems a very insecure way to hold a collet.

Could somebody kindly explain how this particular chuck is supposed to hold its collets please? I can take more photos if necessary.

Many thanks,

Ed.
