I occasionally break off a chunk of bakers no sugar,  you get used to it.
Or half a cup of walnuts in a cup of ice cream, with 1/2 a heaped 
teaspoon of straight coco, stirred in.  Hog heaven but take an extra 
gram of metformin & 2 anti-diahrea(sp) pills. :)

Having discovered that there are ER20 collets with a square socket for 
the butt of the tap, I refined my fleabay search and found a decent 
selection, starting at $21, choose your size.  But a full set can run as 
high as $375 USD.  Those with a bit of float in case the machine has 
backlash are generally in the $ohmygawd range.  Even the $21 version if 
a full set is ordered is north of $190.  Plus ship of coarse.

The one I liked the looks of would be $214 for the full size range set.
Throw in another $160 order for 10 more of the TTS toolholders and its 
beginning to sound like real money. :( And any of it will be a storage 
problem as they should be kept separated I'd think.

And I note that some come with the note that the ER20 nut should be 
replaced with a special high grip version. Since all of my holders came 
with the hex flatted nut, not the smaller OD special wrench drive, can I 
assume the nuts I have are in fact the high torque versions?

I did just now get a notice of a refund for the cheap collets I bought 
that were the wrong size, found another vendor with probably even 
junkier stuff and bought 10 more 1/8" collets for a tenner, with free 
shipping.  It might warrant some gauging to find low runout in those...

Thanks.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
