I am trying to sort out my direction in terms of buying a collet chuck for my PM1340Gt lathe. I am trying to decide between a ER40 or 5C collet system.
I have read and studied here and found a lot of information. I have evaluated the numbers of collets required, cost, etc. In addition, I have reached out to a few of my friends via pm and as usual, gotten good insights as to what one can buy and where as well as some of their experience.
So meanwhile, one direct question here -
Which will achieve the most accuracy in a 1340 D1-4 mount lathe with readily available hardware, ER40 or 5C?
