Best upgrade ever! This one was $39 from Amazon, was easy enough to install, is VERY accurate and extremely repeatable. Wishing I would have bought this years ago, but then they weren’t readily available or affordable to the consumer market. Happy day for my shop….

Nice.

Did you upgrade the chuck too?

Yes I did, it's a quick release double jaw chuck and that was a good upgrade as well. It cut the runout in half, but the drill spindle itself still has a lot of runout, on the order of .003". I got my Dremel to almost zero with a new chuck.....
