BT,
Interesting. I'll keep that in mind when I order my ER set. Sounds like metric cutters with metric collects or imp cutters with imp collets would be ok. Although I seem to remember some meter/imp ER collet sets are the same sizes with different numbers on them, but I can't remember what system they infact were.

That article makes some sense...shrink fit tool holders are said to be the most rigid, chatter-free system available. Squeezing down a nominal 10mm collet on a 3/8 shaft does have issues as discussed in the piece. Likewise a 1/2" in a 13mm-you get the idea. I do note however that they are talking about demanding applications. I don't think I'll be doing a lot of thread milling on my manual mill. (dammit)

From what I have seen Eskimo is a perfectionist, he even made up 2 fly cutters so he could work in both directions of the spindle.
