I know you all probably do it properly instead, but has anyone tried the Hex ER32 holders?
I need to hold a 5mm silver steel rod to cut a thread (x18 times!), and a collet would appear to be the way to do it.
I can get a chuck for the Boxford, but it's about £80 more than I want to spend at the moment - and I have to get these threads cut soon.
I'm thinking if I get a hex holder, I can hold it in a vice, but may also be able to hold it in the 3 jaw chuck?
