Help with drill-Mill conversion

[Ross77]

I bought a £6.50 one direct from china via ebay (for my T&C grinder). The chuck is as good as the one I bought from <TILT - brain failure> someone??? - very good, bugger all run-out, but the nut was so badly machined I had to take a dremel to the ejection ring in order to fit a collet.

I don't see any problem using a ER32 with a MT2 and it'll save money in the long run.

Cheers Bill, going to go for the ER32 then, Just waiting for the shipping costs then its on order. £13 for chuck and £27 for 19 collets (sounds to good really) where did you get yours from?

Bearings arrived today! Whats the best way of determing the torque for the preload on the angular contact bearings, im guessing its just enougth to stop runout, and loose enough to reduce friction/heat build up?

cheers
