I am not familiar with the terms Erikson 419e / DA18. Is there something similar listed here? http://www.tools-n-gizmos.com/specs.html I do see something here: http://www.howiba.de/centix/de/informationen/werkzeugspannung/spannzangen_erickson.html (short URL) http://alturl.com/sa5x I wonder how hard it would be to make a DA collet chuck from scratch. I have a bunch of DA180 and DA200 NMTB40 holders that need nuts and rings. I was thinking I might be able to make them, but I am not a big fan of DA tool holders and have started collecting ER bits. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!
