If you buy 16mm, 1/2", 12mm, 10mm and 1/4" collets, you can accommodate 16mm, 5/8", 1/2", 12mm, 10mm, 3/8", 1/4" and 6mm diameter end-mills and never have to tighten them more than 0.5mm.

Jon

If you took 3/8" to mean the upper limit of the collet, then a 10mm shank would be bell mouthing a 9.55mm collet.

and then if you took the next size in your list up, 1/2" would be 2.7mm too big.

So if you see what I mean, you've got a sizeable gap there (for imperial sizes).

Michael, read what was written, I have put it in bold to help you.

The OP already said he has said he has imperial cutter sso he won't have to learn anything new.

If you're not in a rush have a look at BangGood for collets and chucks. I've been pleased with mine.

I would strongly recommend you do not buy from Banggood. Buy cheap, buy twice. Speaking from recent personal experience here.

I expected the holder to be similar quality to RDG, Chronos etc but was totally disappointed - and they are really bl**dy-minded regarding refunds.

In a nutshell, the MT2 taper was not accurate and it only touched at the narrow end.

I have pics of marking ink being smeared at one end and only one in four stripes contacting further down. Checked with other MT tools on two machines (and a friend didn't even try it in his machines as one can actually feel the looseness). Soon sorted but one end mill destroyed by the induced chatter. Banggood are not decent vendors when it comes to complaints and refunds. They employ bots, not real people, I think, to give standard unhelpful responses.

The collets are (so far) adequate for my purposes. Bought a holder from ArcEuro as the first was worse than useless. Yep, bought cheap bought twice.

As I say, beware of what you buy from Banggood!

I find wit the Chinese sellers, if they're avoiding the R word then just give 'em bad review and that normally winds them up enough to ask you to retract it and get ur money.

Bear in mind Bangood is a marketplace, not a single vendor. Some are good some are... not so good.

So you may get lucky or not. You pays yer money, you takes yer choice.
