Good morning,
I currently use the 2J collet system on my 10EE. To be frank about it, I hate buying old (potentially) worn collets that cost more than they should.
If you were looking for versatility in a modern collet system, with available collet racks for reasonable prices, and didn’t want to pay $30-50 buck per collet. What would you choose? What’s currently available in a direct mount D1-3 style for our lathes?
I don’t want to spend 2K on the chuck alone, but I want a very good chunk. I use collets a lot and while what I have i think is pretty nice, I’m tired of paying out the nose for ancient collets with unknown history. I want new collets I can depend on, easy to find replacements, at a price that is appropriate for the age and lack of use on said collet.
