Good morning All:
So I decided this morning to invest in a new collet chuck for the Monarch 10EE.
I've got a Sjogren 2J that came with the machine but it's worn out and collets are hard to get for it.
The handwheel rattles when I run it and it's noisy and I hate it and it's time!
I call KBC.
A new bison Set Tru plain back is about 800 bucks Canadian.
Ouch, but I can live with it!
But get this; a D1-3 backplate for it is over 550 bucks.
Holy shit...that's pretty rich for a backplate.
Fortunately I have a couple of old ones that can be modified to fit the Bison; I just have to pick the one I prefer to modify.
I can remember the day (yeah, it's an old people thing) when a backplate was 110 bucks.
Good thing I asked about the price before I opened my wallet!
We don't charge enough!!
Cheers
