Anybody using low runout ER collets like these Techniks for fret slotting or inlay ? http://www.techniksusa.com/metal/DNAcol ... ollets.htm I've seen other expensive alternatives with a bizarre looking holder. The Techniks need a special nut and wrench but the cost isn't that bad. |

I use them. Great collet for the money. No problems with fret slotting. Very accurate. |

Those look pretty cool. Where are you buying them? |

Western Tool, westtool.com is my local distributor although these are likely a drop ship item. There must be a local distributor in your area, you might try calling Techniks to ask. The TIR spec is the same on these as their regular collets but a very different animal. If I'm going to buy a few new ones, I'd rather buy something with better specs. Not sure if they are improved enough to replace something that isn't worn out yet. |
