ER11 Adapter for the CT

[bergerud]

The manufacturer in China has finally made some ER11M adapters and is sending me one free to test. I told him I would buy three if I liked them. (Recall: they are $15 each including the nut and wrench but no collets)

I am hoping he will put them on ebay for anyone to buy. It seems to me he could sell quite a few. (My real hope would be for LHR to take over the idea sell them as a machine accessory. To that end, I have not yet told the manufacturer that they are for the CW machine.)

Bergerud that is awesome, I will be anxious to see how it works out. Thanks for sharing and being so proactive!

I assume Ebay would be much cheaper since LHR's shipping is a little high.

I finally recieved the ER11M adapter sample. It is too long and does not have the wrench flats. I guess my drawing was not detailed enough or he has a commuication problem with the machinist. I sent a more detailed drawing and more instructions. He seems confident he will make it right now.

I just received new samples of the ER11M Adapter from China. They finally got it right. These are very nice.

I asked him if he would make 10 of them and put them on eBay. I told him if they did not sell, I would buy them. (I will buy 5 of them later in any case.) The original quote was $15 with nut and wrench. If he included a collet and made it $20, that might even be better. (Otherwise one has to buy collets separately.) I think these will sell fast as not only CW users would find them useful.

I will update again soon after I hear back from him.

Looks like a clean adapter. I already use an er11 adapter but paid more and cut it to length. Works great! Please let us know when they are available. I will certainly try one. It is better to have a few so you don't have to change the bits out so often.
Thank you!
