I am in need of a tool holder for my mill as all I have is a Clarkson auto that takes upto a 5/8 dia tool.
I am looking at an ER40 as it has the widest range, upto 25mm.
Being new to this I am wondering about the lack of thread in the collets like the Clarkson has into which the tool screws, is this still ok for threaded tools?
Also are all ER40 collets the same whoever makes them?
Any other suggestions?
Also,
I would like a flycutter or is it called a facing tool, unsure. I thought I had one but it appears to be a boring tool. It worked on an ally block but i couldn't get it to cut on steel. Any suggestions for a suitable tool?
thank you in advance
