Finally deciding, after so many decades, to get some proper tapping Collets (the ones with the little square in the bottom). Why are they so expensive?
you can get a nice high quality ER32 Collet for like 20 bucks, add the word "tapping" and it goes up anywhere from $70. to as high as $110. for ONE Collet? This is for a standard rigid-tapping style Collet for use in a CNC, not the ones with radial movement (compensation), springs,ball-bearings,etc.
Any sweet deals to be had?
Would even consider a complete system with Collet set and Cat 40 holder if it's the best way to go
