i hope this is the right place to start this thread.
I am stocking up all the tools needed to start making kitless pens. Since my collet chuck is ER25 i had a really hard time finding big collets i.e. sized 18 & 20mm. The thing is that the guy at the shop that is selling them mentioned that these collets are not meant for highly accurate jobs. The concentricity according to the website is 0.02mm. Is that ok for penturning? i suppose that my woodlathe is not the most concentric tool in the world either..what are you guys thinking? maybe more machinist oriented folks among us know more about this? @rherrell ?
cheers, Mike
