Re: Unimat 3 Collet chuck, ER-16?
Jeff Unscrew the collet chuck nut and look inside it. If you see a loose metal ring in it by the end, then you have a ER set up. The E series do not have the ring in the nut. Jeff

Re: Unimat 3 Collet chuck, ER-16?
Hey Jeff, Don't have any ER collets, just the two Collet chucks, one of which is an ESX25 for the Mill. The one on the Uni 3 lathe is 14Mx1 female spindle thread, but no way to tell if it's an ER

Re: Unimat 3 Collet chuck, ER-16?

Re: Unimat 3 Collet chuck, ER-16?

Re: Unimat 3 Collet chuck, ER-16?
That's just the difference I noticed - RegoFix collets are more flexible and have a finer finish - but I get the same concentricity from both, so I'm not sure it matters. I assume the flexibility

Re: Unimat 3 Collet chuck, ER-16?
Hi Gang: I have ER-32 collets, and the difference I see in Rego vs. China, is the Rego flex with much less force. They are a little more shiny too. I built a M12x1 ER-32 collet chuck for my Unimat.
