I just ordered the PSI collet chuck. I decided on this after thinking about things for a while. The best part is that it only really cost me 34 bucks after deducting the $10 off coupon and the proceeds from my two bottle stopper sales. At least that's the story I'm going to give my wife! :biggrin: Now I can finally drill on the lathe and turn some pens again!

Justin; The next thing you have to sneak past the inspectory general is a set of collets. Try to get the metric ones from Ebay seller 800watt. His communication stinks, and you will not get ANY emails or other indication that he is doing anything, but a week or so later the collets will show up!

Get the ER32 metric ones because they don't have any gaps in the clamping ranges. Verify that these are the ones you need. I know that the Beal collet chuck uses an ER32.

You can clamp bare pen mandrels into the collet chuck, closed end mandrels, and most any round cylinder.

I just ordered one as well.:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin: I've been wanting to upgrade my Axeminster Jr. for a while. I can't wait till it arrives. I also made myself a 5/8" pin chuck this afternoon. That is what is used in the Youtube links in my post above. It turned (pun intended) out great.:)

Looks like a trip to the steel recycler is in my near future. My collet chuck is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. Which is nice, because my wife has a meeting wednesday night, so I can play with it then!
