    If your spindle can take 8mm collet then buy 8mm shank tooling this helps with reducing chatter, you can get 6mm cutter with 8mm shanks. Look here. . Wealden Tool Company Limited Up Cut


    To use 1/4 tooling you really need a 7mm collet. Trying to force 6.35 into 6mm will reduce collet life.
