ER11 Adapter for the CT

That's what I'm wondering. The CW 1/16" straight bit has less than 0.5" cutting flute length, before the diameter increases, so I'm thinking it's got to be something other than that particular bit that was used.

Never mind... I really need to read these posts like 3 times!!!

As long as the hole is a straight drill (ie. the selected bit's diameter and the hole diameter are the same in Designer), one can use a regular drill bit. Drill bits are actually better at drilling holes than end mills. I have experimented with this a few times.

Good point. RPM is a lot higher than drill press but if there's no side force it makes sense. I guess you just need a good bit that the flutes don't get clogged easily which is often a problem with small drill bits.

Michael just used a 1/16 out of my drill bit set.

Thank you, Richard. I guess I wasn't the only one curious about that!

Just ordered 5 sets of these things. Can't wait for them to come in. Tired of using split collets and never getting them set exactly right every time. Thanks for sharing this great information.

So they finally arrived but none of them came with a locking nut. I’ve made several attempts to contact the seller but am getting no where. These are useless without the locking nuts. Any suggestions?

Looks like they goofed and forgot to pack the locking nuts with your order. Hopefully it won't take another three weeks to get the nuts!
