I got the new ISO30 collet chuck for my milling machine, together with quite a few other nice to have's . I'm currently using a Clark Auto Lock chuck and it uses an M10 drawbar, while the new chuck needs an M12.
So, I need to make the new drawbar and I just wanted to ask whether there's anything special to a drawbar, apart from it obviously having to be the correct length, have the correct length thread, etc?
Should I use a particular type of steel, for instance?
I'd appreciate any advice.
