Proper Collet Use - Whoops

thanks, everyone pretty much said the same thing. hopefully my parts come out .2mm closer to dimension once some new collets come in.

I also made this mistake my first time using collets xD

nice to know im not the only one.

Just for a bit if reinforcement, I am a proponent of Precise Bits and use their DeWalt 611 collets on my smaller machine. I use bits as small as .012” on that machine with excellent results. I have always received excellent advice from that entire team over there. Hats off to them and I am sure the advice given here is solid.

i did end up ordering 2 new collets from PreciseBits, purely because i didn’t need new nuts, and it was cost effective.
