    Default Collet chucks for WF25 mill.

    I did get the WF25 mill I mentioned in an earlier post.

    The Y axis nut was loose so after dismantling/cleaning and reassembling with some locktite that problem is solved.
    The depth stop collar had a brass Whitworth bolt which I replaced with an unbrako Allen headed of similar size for the moment. Two new vee belts and a better motor adjustment.

    The mill came with a full hold down set and an Osbourne Titanic MT3 Chuck with a
    3/8” collet only. I had in the stash a threaded end mill wot fitted ok and Nigel gave me another when I visited a few days ago. I also have two 1/2” similar and would be interested in the collet for this size.
    Does anyone know if parts are available? Photos of the chuck below.

    Has anyone bought stuff from or visited Tooling Station at Wentworthville in Sydney who sells as c-tool on eBay.


    I have been looking at MT3 ER40 collet chucks online as I need to use a chamfering tool and also have two 1” end mills in the stash.
    After looking at a few YouTube reviews of Chinese ER collet sets I’m at a loss what to buy.
    I don’t think the little mill and the amount of use I’ll give it warrants a Vertex quality collet set but if I buy Chinese junk it would be self defeating?

    I also have these other cutters in the stash for a horizontal mill.
    Photos below all HSS with 1 1/4” bore.
    I’ll never use these so if anyone can use them make me an offer, a trade for what will help get me going on my toy mill would be good As usual the photos decided what order they will appear in!?
