Added 1/8in, 3/16in precision Think and Thinker Collet Kit. DEPG-0611-83KIT

It lets me use the 1/8 in (and some dremel) endmills I already have in the DW611 spindle and has no appreciable runout.

I tried a cheap collet insert adapter first and I think the runout caused an endmill to break once it was under a load cutting MDF, that same bit and load worked fine before with a dremel.

Those hardened endmills really hate to be flexed at high speed.

Can you give the vendor you used for the slotted aluminum bed?

Thanks,

I believe it's in his signature block:

All Aluminum Bed - Misumi HFSQN4-15250 extrusions

I believe he took advantage of the Reddit 150 offer. I believe this is the link:
