Thread: ER20 Collets
-
04-08-2009 #1
Hi All
Are there any members that have used ER20 collets and can recommend any makes/sellers?
I have seen some on eBay one set from China £19.50 for a set of 13 and a set from Glostertooling £49.95 for a set of 12.
I am a big believer in "you get what you pay for" so I assume the ones from china are not so good but what I don't want to do is pay more for a set and find that they are just a rebranded cheapo set.
Any advice would be appreciated.

They are very likely to be re-branded. What you are paying for, is the ability to send them back and demand a replacement if they're not up to spec, and the (slim) possibility that someone has checked the item before dispatch.

I got some ER25 collets from an eBay seller (onlineseller68).
No complaints about the quality. Cost was about a 1/3 to a 1/4 of what I would pay from a local supplier for the same items from (probably) the same source.
I've also bought some dial gauges from the same seller.

Thanks for the replies, so Bill I might as well risk the the Chinese ones and save myself a few quid if what Geoff has experienced is anything to go by I should be ok.

I think concentricity is part of the ER spec. I use the cheapies, only ever actually broken one, somehow I forgot to engage it in the nose properly :whistling:

And that does not supprise me, when I have had stuff from the USA the level of service has been outstanding compared to some companys in the UK anyway time will tell as I said earlier I will post when thy arrive.
Thanks
Andy
(That's not worked how I thought it would :confused:)
