I’ve been getting into the habit of using ER32 collets in my milling machine, but today, I dug out a direct collet, and could not get it to thread. I spent about 45 minutes faffing about before I realised what the problem was (duh).
When I bought the machine, I chose the metric model, but I’m sure I was told that there were two drawbars included, one metric, one 3/8”. Turns out both are 10mm, and I think it may be too late complain to Warco.
My question is, if I make a 3/8” drawbar for it, can I just use any old steel rod?
