Ball Bearing Collet Nuts

I bought 5 ER32 nuts love them easier to torque to hold bits tight. Definitely worth the investment.

Smaller than ER32 I don't think they are require, higher definitely.

Torquing collet nuts is one of those niggling little questions I have every time I tighten one up. How tight is tight enough?
Depends on the size of the ER collet and the tooling.

ER25, 85ft-lbs. Wow!

My collet wrench is is perhaps 8" long, I only have a torque wrench that accepts sockets, for years I have done nothing more than squeeze the two wrenches until firmly tight. Am I the only one doing that?

Here is the Rego-Fix ER collet nut torque specs. They make plain collet nuts, ER ERC, and bearing nuts, ERB ERCB.

The torque specs are different between the two types. Less applied torgue to the bearing nut vs plain. The torques also vary depending on the size of tool the collet will be gripping.
