What is the true difference in these besides RPM?
If a machine has max spindle rpm of 15,000. I'll tend to buy tooling that's rated to 25k rpm. I guess my logic (although flawed) is more of a "safety margin" by going with the G2.5 balance vs G6.3. I mostly use ER collets, side lock and a few heat shrink. Which all are G2.5 rated to 25,000rpm. I understand with all these, they are balance with out the nut, no tool, etc.
Having said all that, does it really matter which you go with as long you don't get near or over the spec rpm? (20k and 25K in this example)
