Sorry for posting this question again. I've seen some threads that mention good vs. bad quality 5C collets, but I've been unable to find those threads by searching.
I'm biting the bullet and buying a Bison 5C chuck for my Grizzly G0750G lathe. I can't afford sets of Bison collets, so I'll have to settle for lower quality for now. I would appreciate comments on the quality of various collets:
CDCO
Shars
Discount Machine on eBay (same as Shars?)
Quality Machine Tools (QMT)
Enco (Lyndex or Interstate)
Any others?
If you have experience with any of the above, would you say "Never again", "Sure thing", "Hit or Miss".
Thanks,
Bill
