unfortunately the collet we have is for 1/4" shank, we need 1/8" and 3/16" shank (they are the most common for the kind of work we'll be doing)<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

So I totally didn't realize NB had a cnc mill (even if its old and cruddy),<br>
thats awesome.<br>
Does anyone know if that's like an ER32 collet or something?<br>
<br>
I might have an old banged up collet that we no longer need at my work.<br>
(that would still be fine for most stuff) Also do you have a need for old<br>
slightly chipped but still mostly good carbide end mills? We've got lots of<br>
those.<br>
<br>
I never make it up to NB but if anyone knows what you need I might be able<br>
to help donate some stuff.<br>

The computer which goes with the CNC mill has been put back in<br>
place, with<br>
a monitor and keyboard and mouse. It has also been cleaned of<br>
dust with a<br>
vacuum and air blower.<br>
<br>
The CNC machine has been cleaned and freed of random bits of<br>
trash.<br>
<br>
BUT we are still missing some important things: the fourth axis<br>
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<br>
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)<br>
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,<br>
perhaps it's<br>
in a container with a bunch of mill bits?<br>
