9 forum posts	I have purchased a chinese spindle motor, with variable speed, which can be mounted as a toolpost miller, gear cutter etc.'The unit looks fine but comes with a #n ER11-A collet which is for a rather too small 1/8" shaft. This collet holder is mounted on the motor shaft, which is 1/4" and looks as if it is held on by 2 grub screws. However If I slacken off or remove these screws It will not budge, even with a puller. If it is threaded, which I doubt, there is no way to hold the shaft to undo it. I was hoping to buy a similar holder for an ER 20 collet, so I can use it with Thornton cutters, for cutting wheels for clocks. Does anyone know how to remove this collet holder please? Your comments woild be most gratefully received! N,Ellis

To answer your question, I think the collet holder is machined directly into the spindle. Edited By Nicholas Wheeler 1 on 04/05/2017 18:25:54
