I am a regular customer at these companies and in my experience they are very reliable, shipping fast and for a reasonable cost. I am very happy with the quality they deliver and the service they provide.

In fact, I originally wanted to use Kress but discarded it partially due to the collet they are using, which is non-standard. It is pretty expensive to have a collection of them, especially if you want a few of each dimension which are frequently used as well. The other thing is that it is just an ordinary one phase motor, like an angle grinder. I think that a VFD and a spindle is a better alternative and in the end, with all the extra collets I have, is not even more expensive.
Hey thanks for these links, I'll check them out. The parts for this thing do seem really expensive, and limited in number of suppliers. I think, I'll get a collet, nut, and cable and maybe sell it and invest in a vfd and spindle.

What size collet would you say is standard?
