I am considering getting a 3D taster for the mill. The age old metric vs imperial issue rears its ugly head! The Haimer taster uses a 10mm shank. They also make 3/4". Tschorn makes a 1/2" shank. I would likely be using a 3/8" end mill for most operations. It would be very convenient not to have to change the collet out. Could I use a 10mm R8 collet to hold a 3/8" end mill? Or could I use a 3/8" R8 collet to hold a 10 mm shank? I could accept a few thou of error on most projects. Any other good ideas? (Don't say power drawbar because I don't have compressed air!) I suppose I could buy new 10 mm endmills?
