Pros & Cons
Pros
The arbour is solid, fits my mill correctly and runs very true. Appears to be very well machined with no burs or defects. Came well packaged ( not over packaged ) and arrived about 48 hrs.
Highlights
Quality
I was pleasantly surprised by the fit and finish of this collet set.
Very good product it will clamp any size drill.
So long story short, i opted to go with the mt2 collets which fit inside the spindle nose.

I would have kept it except i did not factor in the design which essentially accommodates the collets in front of the nose spindle

That plus the mt2 taper not seating all the way in meant that the overhang beyond the front of the lathe spindle was considerable

So side pressures are increased and any runout is exaggerated as the piece in the collet is likely to be about 4 from the spindle nose
