Actually she is quite supportive. I was going to buy an older one that was much cheaper. She said buy something better. So touchdown!

I had bought a Crawford 5C collet set & trays to organize them, but the set only goes down as small as 1/16”. This left 3 sad, empty holes in my tray.
Tonight I bought 1/64” & 1/32” Shars collets (Hardinge are $77 each which is WAY too expensive) and a used Lyndex 3/64” collet on eBay.
Lyndex doesn’t make 5C collets smaller than 3/64”, so unless you want to pay $77 each for Hardinge you have to buy Chinese ones.
It is really hard to imagine an application for a 1/64” 5C collet!

I cant imagine either collets that small i wouldnt buy until i need them. However 7$ isnt expensive AND i am a car mechanic and i just bought two sockets from snap on that dont come in the set. But atleast it finished the set. I guess i should place foot in mouth now haha. Thise damn piggies like going to the market!

251C80VCBM??It's the QT-5 with the Max package. I think I found the bottom of the internet deciding which compressor to buy, and I think I made a good choice. Check in with me to see how it's holding up in 25 years. I'm thinking it's going to fetch a good price at my estate sale.
