Hi all, this one is definitely in the newbie department.
While waiting for my machines and gathering tooling, I run often in 5C chuck and collet kit.
Someone recommended I get these but I fail to understand what they are for or rather, what is their advantages
in the context of a home machinist over the standard 3 jaws chuck.
I think I can conceive that a better concentricity is attainable, and also, in the context of a commercial shop
many parts can be manufactured from a long bar, saving time on setup.
So the bottom question is, should I get this, and why?
