I have found a source for affordable collets and chuck! The collet set is 11 collets covering 3/32 to 3/4 inch. Th Chuck is a #2 Morse Taper fitting any lathe with a #2MT. CTC Tools Items
1 ER32 MT2 COLLET CHUCK #A74 @ $15.50 = $15.50
1 ER32 COLLET SET (11 PCS) - IMPERIAL #F62 @ $30.50 = $30.50

Sub-Total: $46.00

Shipping: $39.59 (Insured Air Freight)



Sales Tax: $0.00

CTC Tools Total: $85.59:)

Do a Search for CTC Tools it is located in the U.K. but the total price even with freight is the same as a chuck only from Beal tools.

The only problem with that one is that is an MT type chuck . You are limited to the depth of the holder which is only about an inch . The Beall is a spindle mounted chuck which allows you from about 2" to unlimited (only limit is the hole in your spindle) depth . The PSI chuck come with 5 collets and is a spindle mounted chuck as well , and is about the same price . The depth might not seem like a problem and in some cases isn't but there are times and techniques that require the added depth .

There is another problem with any MT2 tool. Unless the tail stock is used the tool needs to be secured with a draw bar to keep it in the head stock Using an MT2 chuck or tool of any kind without the tail stock support and the tool will soon be chasing you around your shop. Be safe whatever your choice.
