As the these 3 collet types U, R8, 5C) pinch to hold and grip the interior surface of the collet actually starts to taper so that it allows a bit to wobble. Again within their range it is not an issue but as to range increases the problem starts to show itself. Better descriptions of all this...

Have to double check here before commenting.

I've got the perfect name.... The Binford 2000 Paint Shaker ;):cool:

Great idea, now the more experienced brain has kicked in....when it goes wrong and fails?????? Comments.

I have the Acorn along with the breakout board for Clearpath from CNC4PC. Think plug and play. Seriously plug and play it is the was easy to set up and run. Spent more time figuring out how to optimize the G-code created by Intercon (Centriods software). Acorn is rock solid in terms of...

I have scales, got rid of my track machine about 10years ago along with the table.

The issue with both to achieve a good accurate grip is to remain within a very specific limit of grip of which both are actually very narrow. The advantage with the 5C is there are significantly more readily sizes (both larger, smaller and shapes) available. This is primarily what drove my...

I have to look up a link and post it.

All I can say is WOW! Seeing 2000IPM machining on a small demo machine. WOW! Some of the Metal 3D Printers, for a little more than a Plastic one with amazing resolution... Some other stuff, I want (I'll find a use sometime) but $$$$$$

Want to see the latest greatest machinery and tooling first hand. Show is on in Toronto https://www.cmts.ca/ Have fun, don't spend too much money as you want it all :cool:.

The issue with these grinders is the pivot point locations which limits range of motion on larger cutters. A ER32 would be a good option but because of the machine design the 5C is likely the best. A good thing is that strong grip is not required just accurate and firm grip playing into the...

There was an apartment landlord in Toronto that was known for using structural paint to fixture concrete on load bearing walls. Wonder if this guy is related.

Here is the stupidity, you all remember the sweetener issue many years ago, the replacements we use today are way more toxic. ROHS is another one, the replacements to make lead free work are way more dangerous. Freon as a cleaner, well, 12lbs not used caused how much exceptional toxic fuel to...

I bought the Shars, saw the Vertex at a distributors here in Mississauga, and considered the Accusize. Vertex, limited collet availability, similar to the original Deckels. Accusize R8, better but still limits options. Shars, 5C from the get go (purchased and imported during COVID) and order...

1.055" Dovetail widest point. Both inner and outer depending on which head for the 5C
