What do you guys recommend as the best value vs quality, easy to set up and use for a 65mm collet chuck?
I won't need a ton of collets, just 4-5 sizes does all my needs.
First thought was hardinge Flex-C A style, then I started looking at old threads on here and other names come up and now I don't know what to pick anymore. Hainbuch(spanntop combi pull back?) and royal(pull to a stop)?. Royal appears to have more range, .062" vs .040?
One thing that seems neat about the hardinge is they have a 5C adapters to fit it as well, I have a full set of hardinge 5Cs collets for my small stuff already.
There was also a few mentions of package deals on these systems but I can't find anything online now, are they just once a year promos or something?
while here, with regards to 8" chuck soft jaws, what's the best place for good quality and price?
thanks
