So my Collet chuck arrived a week or so ago. Today the ER-32 collet set arrived. I no longer have an excuse for not completing my 4th axis driven by a real harmonic drive. (Well it is raining and can't cast). So I have drawn up the face plate adaptor and that looks to be a pretty easy LCNC project for the mill plus a bit of lathe work. However, I foolishly did not order a collet wrench. This seems to overall be a pretty easy CNC project with the exception of the 'teeth' that engage the collet. I suppose I could mill out the profiles in some oil hardening steel, then file the teeth to have straight edges. Finally harden it. Alternatively make it out of 1/4" or so steel plate (or even aluminium) and drill and tap holes for screws to protrude out where the teeth are. Turn down the screw ends to be smooth or even square and lock the screws in place. Looking for suggestions here. Don't really want to wait 2 months for one wrench with either low price and horrendous shipping or high price and low shipping. Cost ends up being the same at about $28. Thanks, John
