R8 Collet Set or R8-ER32 Collet Set

[YYCHM]

Well..... I'm going to give this a go....

AliExpress, $60cdn, 15pc ER20 collet set (metric, 1-13mm in 1mm increments and a few 0.5 sizes), R8-ER20 chuck holder and MT2-ER20 chuck holder. Shipped via EPacket with an ETD of 15-30 days. Suppose to ship within 10 days from the same seller.

To be continued...….

I didn't realize we had used some ER16? I thought it was all done with ER32. After using them it occurred to me that they seemed to be the way to go rather than messing with the draw bar for every tool change.

Red neck power drawbar - cheap and works fast. If I blow up the threads I’ll just make another one.

Great idea @Janger. Should work well on table top machines as there is good access to the drawbar nut.

Progress.... might make their 15-26 day delivery claim yet

@Janger Wow, I'm so out of it and far behind in the content here, lol . . . I blame it on toddler, infant, work, wife, and outside family needing stuff . . . For what it's worth it's great to know great minds think alike as I've used my Ryobi 1/4" impact power drawbar since I got my first mill a few years ago! As long as one has ceiling/garage door clearance they work well.

Not bad for something ordered on the 4th....

Ordered on the 4th, delivered on the 18th, so not bad at all. This EPacket thing appears to be a good delivery option.

Be interested to hear your accuracy findings once you've had a chance to set it up in the mill.
