I currently have a sherline setup (3/4 thread and #1 MT in the spindle), and am looking at strategies on ER collets.
The mill is pretty easy... 3/8” primarily would be used for endmills, but on the lathe, many sizes would be used.
Now, thinking about making this slightly ‘futureproof’... would it make sense to go for a smaller ER16/20 (or 32) set, and use them along with a larger set (ER40+) on ‘the next lathe’?
Maybe put this way, What size would be ‘too small’ (ie next to useless as you would use a ERx size instead) on a larger 7x lathe?
