Hi Alan,
I’m a little late to the party, but here’s my 2 cents worth.The Superfly will work just fine in a standard 3/4” collet. The TTS collet is designed to let a TTS toolholder butt up to the bottom of the spindle for consistent tool settings. Unless you need that feature and will dedicate a separate TTS toolholder to each tool, you don’t need the TTS collet.
I don’t have a lot of experience with my Superfly and what little I have has all been with aluminum. I find that it leaves sort of a hazy mirror finish. Sort of like a mirror a little out of focus. Pretty much like the video that DanS posted above. The deepest cut that I’ve taken with it so far is .035” and my LMS 5500 wasn’t even breathing hard. I couldn’t tell any difference in finish between that cut and a .005” DOC. Believe the hype about it being a prolific chip generator. It can remove a lot of material in a hurry and deposit the shrapnel in the far reaches of the county.
