Following this thread with great interest.
What is the problem with the HAFCO AL-250G. It appears to be a well featured lathe apart from the metric only threading.

Hi Ray,
My friend tells me that these collets are fixed size, but because they are very long (51mm) have better holding power than ER collets. They are also better on concentricity. -

OZ25/EOC25 Collets
A friend is trying to source OZ25/EOC25 collets in IMPERIAL sizes.
Can anybody point us to a supplier with reasonable prices?
Ebay and Aliexpress only list these in metric.
