• Hi - We're having intermittent forum issues. Posts, alerts, and anything involving email like signing up or password changes are having problems but not for everyone or everywhere. Josh is working on it. No ETA right now. Thanks Josh - BTW this is a volunteer forum so SLA's are just best effort. EDIT -> I manually batch updated about 25 people stuck on the email notification. Try logging in now with your password. EDIT -> May 8/23. I updated another bunch of users stuck on email notifications. Try to login if you are stuck. If you really can't get in contact us on facebook or if you know a forum member get them to ask us.

I always thought that ER stood for "extended range" . ER40 collets have a grip range of 1mm or nearly .040" so if you have a full set of metric ER40 collets there are no gaps in the gripping range. Maybe I have been wrong, wouldn't be the first time.

It could very well be I was just reading an article and saw Eccentric ring and just made and an assumption I could be totally off on that one.

In 1972, Fritz Weber, founder of Rego-Fix, created and patented the ER collet. The design is a modification of the previously popular E collet design, using the same taper, but simply adding the groove. ... The R in “ER collet” stands for Rego-Fix, representing the company's modification to the E collet design. Feb. 27, 2013

Soooo..... what does the E stand for?

So what else does HSS stand for? I thought High Speed Steel, but I see people using HSS with reference to square tubing?
