    Only talking about a few thou in both cases so no drama.

    I would say that Vicmarc and Vermec inserts are distinctly more solid and wonder whether it's poss to get a bit of a twist in a T/tool if you tighten it too vigorously.
    Ern, whilst I agree with you that the (suspected) Vermec insert is way more solid than the Teknatool one, it was the Vermec one that needed modifying to get rid of the run-out, not the Teknatool one for my Nova G3 chuck.

    See the first photo in my post above.

    Having said that, the Vermec insert I bought for my Vicmarc VM120 was perfect out of the box, and is even more substantial.

    Thanks Fred.

    And of course my chuck was the Titan and other T/tool models prob vary.

    This issue was thoroughly canvassed on another thread than the one mentioned so Reece, use your search skills.
    Cheers, Ern
