ER-32 Collet Source

[KingBubbaTruck]

So,

I've seen some posts saying that H&H is a good source for collets, but I can't get the darn site to take my order.

Are there any other sites that are a good source for individual ER-32 collets?

Thanks

Brent

I got mine from the little machine shop

I got mine from a local machine shop supplier and they were less expensive than anything else I could find. You can call 937-672-9876, or email Bob at harts4u123@aol.com for prices.

Sure,

I could call a phone number, but that's so 1990's! [xx(]

I guess I just like the ability to pick and click and ship....

So, I guess I'll pick up the, uh, whatdoyoucallit, the tele phone? and call and place an order? Are you sure that works? []

Shoot, Dang ole ebay, Just ordered the 5/16 collet.

See, I knew I could do it without having to resort to actual human contact.... []

I ordered from H&H one got the wrong collet and could never get anyone on the phone.

Enco or the little machine shop are the ones I have used since.

Ahh, Enco looks pretty good. I got a little lower price on the 5/16 on ebay, but I didn't follow through on the enco site to see what their shipping cost was....

I'll bookmark the enco site for future purchases.

Thanks!

(BTW, I love this collet chuck thing, It seems so much more accurate to turn only one barrel at a time, Oh, and for yoyos and bottle stoppers, it's so much nicer not to worry about the drill chuck working loose!)

OK, wats an ER-32?

The ER-32 is a collet system that takes collets that expand a little. Here's a picture of one: http://www1.mscdirect.com/CGI/NNSRIT?PMPXNO=1806866&PMT4NO=7599067

Frank, the Beall collet chuck uses ER-32 collets.

I ordered ER-32 collets from H&H Industrial back in Jan. They were $9.50 each. IIRC the site wouldn't cooperate for me either so I phoned in the order. Took about a week to get here but the charges didn't show up on my Visa bill for 3 months. Guess their billing section must be real slow.

Just a little warning about Enco I have been annoyed at them in the past for racking up shipping by shipping from different wharehouses so take a look first. I have used the Little Machine shop a couple times and have had no complaints what so ever.

 

[KingBubbaTruck]

I probably would have bought from the little machine shop, but I only wanted one collet. The Beall Collet set I bought came with a set of 5, and fit's most of the 'things' I need it to fit.

I didn't see any individual collet's in the size I wanted at LMS...

I just wanted the 5/16 so that I could fit the B mandrel, and the bottle stopper mandrel I have.

Thanks for the warning and recommendation, though!

Kinda guessed something like that. I just get a bad itch when folks don't say what they are talking about. Like with a potfer.

Frank,
What's a potfer?[]

I was wondering how someone was going to respond to that and keep it family friendly! [)]
