OT - Great holder...unbeatable price!

[L Hanft]

Check out these part holders. This was a student design project, it is now a commerical venture. The holder price is $295... check out their web page. http://www.colletjaws.com/

This is a must see tool.

Good Idea.

 

I see that they also have patented what I consider a standard type product idea incorporated into something new. Just seeing it makes me want to buy some aluminum - bore out size on either end - mount in the milling machine vice - split open with an endmill and keep the other $200.00 - Not to mention the setup time to align all the collets and - oh yea, the cost of the hardinge collet pads themselves.

 

But then again, I am a cheap cuss...

 

(Just a cynical view... Please no offence intended)
