So I totally didn't realize NB had a cnc mill (even if its old and cruddy), thats awesome.<div><br></div><div>Does anyone know if that's like an ER32 collet or something?</div><div><br></div><div>I might have an old banged up collet that we no longer need at my work.

The CNC machine has been cleaned and freed of random bits of trash.<br>

BUT we are still missing some important things: �the fourth axis which<br>
looks like this (except with blue trim instead of black)<br>

<br>
also, much more importantly, we are missing the 1/8" collet.<br>
It is necessary for holding bits which have a 1/8" shank.<br>
Right now we only have the collet for 1/4" shank which is nearly useless.<br>
<br>
here is a picture of a 1/8" collet:<br>

<br>
UNFORTUNATELY i don't know if the above item (which is for sale) is the<br>
right part for our mill. �probably the company could tell us.<br>
<br>
although maybe someone here knows where the 1/8" collet is, perhaps it's<br>
in a container with a bunch of mill bits?<br>
