(Also, I see the collet set is half the price of the PSI collect chuck set
)
Would the chuck set be more versatile?
I have a 21/64" bit, so I'd be good to go.
Since you're not using the arbor and tap, I'd love to try them. I have plenty of scrap wood, so no need to send a blank.
Thanks so much!
See my email I just posted to you.
The chuck is definitely much more versatile. You can turn most any thing small using it.
Check out my email for a link to the almost identical setup as I was proposing at about the same price as shipping my items.
