Collett Chucks and Band Saws

[email protected]

Has anyone any experience of fitting a collett chuck to one of these lathes.
I am evaluating getting one, still, and one of the regular jobs would be with
small diameter bar which is better used with a collett chuck than a 3 jaw.

I am also looking at Band Saws. There is a small one available in the UK
which can be bench mounted. It is not the cheapest, but seems pretty powerful
for its size. Price seems to be around ?300 ($450). I was wondering if anyone
had any experience of one in use. It is in issue 89 of Model Engineers
Workshop as an Emco, but Chester sell it as well under their own brand name.

In the US, Harbor Freight sells some that cost quite a bit less than $450.

Warco has a "portable" one at UKP175ish
