After searching for what feels like forever I think I've finally found a milling machine to suit my needs (an Elliott 00 Omnimill), now I'm just trying to sort out some tooling for it.
The machine has a MT3 taper spindle which will go nicely with the tooling I have for my lathe, this includes a ER32 collet holder. However the guy selling the machine also has a Clarkson Autolock collet chuck with metric and imperial collets. Is there any advantage to purchasing the Clarkson chuck or is the ER32 all that I need ?
Thanks
Jim
