I worry that the stick out is going to wreck the rigidity, and the work envelope£82 ea, is that hardened and ground? If so maybe worth buying one which you can put an ER collet chuck in.
I’d be interested in the collets!Also, if I re-machine the taper, I will have the full set of original collets going spare, if anyone needs them!
Welcome, by the way.Ok, obviously can only let them go once I have decided to make the actual change, but you can be top of the list.
