Not worth a single penny

After I put it to the test, I found the collet opening diameter to be inaccurate and inconsistent. The product is flimsy and completely unreliable for any kind of heavy-duty workholding.

Pros
  • None
Cons
  • Inaccurate, flimsy

Poor surface finish

makes me doubt the accuracy of the collet. Not the quality of my old Bridgeport collets. So next time I'll go to Hardinge to get my collets.

Pros
  • Collets
Cons
  • I will add later

Made in India! But still not bad.

Are the days of Japanese collets over? Made in Japan is what I expected from Lyndex-Nikken. But right on the box it says "India". I'm no R8 collet expert but I think this example is as good as you could expect no matter where it was made without sorting through the heap to find the best junk. I've had Bridgeport and Hardinge collets with a lot of run out (Bridgeport in particular). In my PM-935 spindle clamping the ground pin, I get 0.0001" TIR right at the collet nose and 0.0006" TIR at 2"…

Pros
  • Clamp
Cons
  • Expensive
