I have all the collets for my ER-16 spindle, but cannot use it as it sticks out a diffeent amount from the column, so would mess up my offsets.
Any ideas? I thought about a pin chuck, but they cannot hold the size drill bits I want (2mm, 3.2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 6mm, 10mm).
Any other ideas? I don't mind having to buy some sort of a chuck and a collet for it if it won't fit mine.
Any advice appreciated
