On Thursday I bought the new PSI Collet system. Because of being under the weather did not get to use it until Saturday. First off I have bought three tools this year which either help improving my pen making or improving productivity. They are General Maxi-Lathe, PH Vise and yes the PSI Collet system. The collect turned true with no run out. The collect system was very will made had no problems with right out of the box. No tools are required to change collects, just hand tighten and hand loosen. They do provided two knock our rods should the collet or the chuck become to tight to remove by hand so far did not need to use.
The only thing is the chuck is large so you have to beware of your fingers and knuckles not being hit by the chuck. So thing with the jacobs chuck So far I am very happy with the performance of the collet system. At 89.95 I think this is steal for what the collet will provide. This tool should be on your wish list if you do not already have a collet chuck. Pictures will follow soon.
