NOTE: Split collet not included with tool holder.
By making your own custom split collet with a 5/8" outside diameter, this part can hold virtually any tool you wish to adapt to it. A set screw tightens on the collet, holding the tool in place.
The tool holder is attached to one plate, while the shaft is part of another. Two slightly oversize holes in one side allow adjustment screws to be loosened, the center located and then locked down whre you want it. In this manner, highly accurate centering can be achieved. Adjustable holders like this are designed for the machinist seeking every advantage in the quest for total accuracy.
