Greetings; Looking around for some more cheap metric ER-20 stuff, I stumbled over a kit on ebay that had the TTS like adapter as part of the kit. So I bought 2 sets of them. $40 a copy, or $79.something for 2 sets.
The adapter looked like it was the std 3/4 diameter stem. But when they arrived, the 3/4" diameter stem had a full length flat, like it was intended to be used in a spindle with a 3/4" bore and set screws. This would, if a 3/4" R8 collet could be found with a D shaped bore, be yet another way to remove one potential slip point in trying to hold a tap for rigid tapping. The url if it still exists, and if you look close, that flat on the shank can be seen, is: <https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/e11400.m43.l9264/7?euid=7c62a50e819349c08674ae7428756b5f&bu=44688966138&loc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fsignin%2Fg%2Fv%255E1.1%2523i%255E1%2523I%255E3%2523f%255E0%2523p%255E3%2523r%255E1%2523t%255EUl4xMF83OjNDMjBBMzE5OTc4RTI1QjVBQzJBMEI0MTZERDFBNUJGXzJfMSNFXjI2MA%253D%253D&sojTags=bu=bu> Has anyone else seen such a R8 critter, and what would it be called so it can be found in the throngs of such stuff from the asian's? -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
