    Tool ER40 collet nut

    I have had one bad arbor show up to my door. And it too was way off, definitely a lemon. Everything else I have had shipped from china has been of excellent quality. Although, I generally don't pay the lowest price. You do understand the Nut and Collet click together by tipping and pushing the...

    Need a 5" Dividing head?

    I also ordered one of these a little while back. I think it came to $415 all said and done. Buckbrush, were you able to adjust the backlash out of the gearing effectively? I found the worm gear (not the worm itself) to be slightly out of concentricity, meaning it's tight 0-180 degrees and loose...
