I think the nut is the most complex item in the build. Many who have built these chucks seem to just buy their nuts (oh, that sounds funny).

??? ??? So , I've been thinking of making a ER40 collet chuck as you folks know form the tread I started last week . I keep thinking the only part that I'm not 100 %
sure I can pull off is the metric threads on the collet nut . So Erik's post got me thinking , why does the chuck need to be threaded for metric threads ? Why cant we make our own nuts & thread them SAE fine ? Does the nut need to be hardened
??
??? ??? Another thought I have been thinking about is how bout a collet chuck that doubles as a collet block ?
??? ??? Thought's ?
??? ??? thanks
