Modestly priced ER collets

I think someone has been cutting and pasting carelessly when they were creating the various listings.

Head for their shop and search for collet, where you will find a variety of titles and descriptions.
Some specify 1pc, others have 3 in title and description, others no quantity in the title but 3 in the description, and some say 1pc in the description.
The ones with 3 in title and description seem to be more expensive.
I think some of the ads have been re-worded since I looked earlier today, so some of the corrections have been re-corrected incorrectly, or something like that.

They also list sets of 3 collets for router/trimmers, so that might be where they have confused themselves.

It will be interesting to see what you get, I would be hoping for three collet chucks not just collets

Please see yesterday’s post … where I replied to Bill Phinn

I know how you feel!

Are we still confused ?

Interesting to know what the sizes on the packets relate to as 8.8cm seems quite large unless that is the size of the box of three rather than an individual collet and why is the one on the right smaller.

But of more interest is what are the collets like, get them unwrapped

Are you familiar with the word Tantric ?

Do we also need some music for a long protracted game of pass the parcel

Based upon a quick visual inspection of one collet …

These are plenty good-enough for my modest requirement, and I am delighted with my purchase.

Incidentally, the variation in quoted packet size remains a mystery

We could discuss resolution vs accuracy ‘til the cows come home … but I would rather not

Cutwel have an offer on their standard precision sets at the moment (.010mm runout): Cutwel

I ordered an ER32 set yesterday, arrived today. They look good and came in a reasonably nice mdf case, appear to be made by YG tools in Korea.

My OED defines it as"loosely denoting the association of spiritual and erotic practices".

Not sure whether I'm more shaken by the collets or you Michael.

You must have ordered the last one I put in an order for a collet chuck and collet set and they are quoting 63 days for the ER32 set.

More generally … It has a lot to do with the pleasure of taking things slowly.
