MT3 Collets for Hercus O Mill?
Hi All,
I am looking into a collect / chuck setup for the vertical head and was going to go with a ER25 MT3 and make my own drawbar as I have seen on one of these posts.
I have since came across these on the Hare and Forbes website and they looked like a good or even better idea. Unless I am understanding it all wrong... Which could very well be the case.
Does this go directly into the morse taper on the vertical head and remove the need for a collect chuck? As it is 1/2" thread I could also use the same drawbar that came with the fly cutter??
I assume it would also increase the Z axis? If so that would be great as I dont have the standard Hercus vice, the one that come with my mill is larger and reduces the Z height even more.
I would appreciate any input if I am on the wrong track.
