Cheers to JR Beall

I wrote in another thread that I had somehow locked up my Beall collet chuck and have been unable to get the cap nut off. I emailed the Beall company asking for suggestions and they offered to send me a replacement chuck and a replacement for the collet that is locked inside. I wasn't expecting this level of service (and didn't ask for a replacement). This is a very nicely made and not inexpensive piece of equipment and I'm pretty surprised at this level of service, above and beyond IMHO. Thank you JR Beall!

I know their tools are pricey, but they are quality tools and quality people.

You may know this already, (I didn't when I first got mine), always snap the collet into the retaining nut first before screwing it on. There is a little groove that will hold it (loosely).

I knew that but may not have snapped it in place well enough, don't really know what went wrong. Love your hat btw.
