I was browsing ebay for lathe parts of course! I came upon this:New E40 ER 40 Collet Chuck Plate Fixture | eBay
It seems as though you bolt it up to a back plate and you have a low cost "collet chuck".
Please someone tell me if this is one of those too good to be true things. I am just now trying to get setup for collets but of course don't have much money. I am also attracted to the ER collets wider range of gripping per collet.
Doing some more searching and found a 23 pc collet set with a R8 adapter - I could use the same collets in my mill and lathe.
Your thoughts please.
thanks bryan
