I have wondered and asked that on different forums. I only found mention of it on Alibaba but couldn't seem to be able to order it. So it's down the list of todo's. Before that I want to make block for r8 that I can swap into my QCTP to do deep drilling on the lathe where my tail stock can't get in there.I have a 5C collet block which comes in handy sometimes, but I only have a couple collets.
I have a boatload of R8 collets.
An R8 collet block would be more practical for me, but I have not seen them.
More handy and effective is a QCTP holder that is either made with a morse taper socket or one that mounts a drill chuck, which is better in some ways, since the overall length is shorter than the MT block when using a drill chuck in it.I have wondered and asked that on different forums.
