When I was tooling up my new mill, I bought 6 new ER32 collet chucks along with the usual pile of sidelocks. I have a bunch of ER25 collets, so I wanted a couple ER25 collet chucks as well.
No one seemed to have them, Techniks said 8 weeks out. So I ordered them back in March. Yesterday I was wondering where they were, so I called my supplier. Apparently Techniks had sent shrink fit holders instead, so they were returned last month.
A call to Techniks, they said 10 weeks out for a pair of ER25 dual-contact holders. Jeez. Then this morning, they showed up at my supplier, and they were delivered to me this afternoon.
But it got me to thinking- I see the other ER sizes all the time on fleabay, but the ER25's seem to be not so common.
Are these things going obsolete?
