    Default Chasing Clarkson Autolock collets

    Hi all, I’m after 2 and 3mm collets for an Clarkson Autolock. I use 3mm endmills the most, closely followed by 2mm.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Autolock collets don't work that way, you would need to look for a 6mm collet and then get hold of 2 and 3mm cutters with 6mm shanks.

    I wasn't aware they came that small, the smallest ones I have are 6mm and 1/4"

    Not 100% but I think it’s a small. Just bought a mill they came with one, lots of collets, lots of end mills, just no collets that small

    Do you have 2 & 3mm cutters with threaded shanks and a center hole to use in these Ellusive collets?

    I don’t, as I said, just got the mill with the Clarkson Autolock and I mostly use 2-3mm end mills. I was hoping to find some collets.

    I have since spoken to Ueee and confirmed the smaller sizes are on a larger shank and step down.

    Problem solved.

    Hi Aaron, You’re correct. I have both of those. Appreciate the thought however. Hope you didn’t invest too much time.
    Cheers
