Or is that new blocks on the block ?

Not an advert because I'm not selling them but coming to a store near you shortly.

5C collet blocks in hex and square, been around for years, very handy for dropping in the vise and doing to odd quick and dirty hex or square by just turning the block over with the part in the 5 C collet.
Ideal for laying down but not so handy stood up.

Soooooooo..........

Allow me to present the same style of block but in ER32 format.

Advantages are shorter, can stand upright on the ground to a gnats left bollock rear face, no gaps from 0.5mm to 20mm with the ER 32 series collets. That's 20 thou to just over 3/4" for the unwashed.

Added bonus is when used in the horizontal mode because the nut is larger than the body the back surface of the nut can be used as a dead stop in the vise.

Very precise macro photo reworked in photoshop to give the impression of a blured image [ not easy I can assure you ]

PS, The floor has also been done in Photoshop.

Great inovation John

I like them, I think they will be more useful than the other sort.

The more I've thought about it the more potential I can see for them.

Any idea when they will be hitting the street.

Still got to be listed on Arc's site but if you ring Ketan or Ian they will sort you out.

Very nice.....Takes up less room than the indexer I made and better than faffing around with the rotab...

Must point this item out to 'Er indoors as a potential Father's day pressie from the kids...

Cheers John,

Square block on order. It could be useful to grip in the 4-jaw if I need to make small eccentric parts.

Yes, I'm in the ER25 lobby, too!

I suppose they could be made with ER32 on one end and ER25 on the other to suit most tastes, though the ER25 end would restrict the max diameter which could be passed through while held by an ER32 to about 17mm.

Is the ability to use the ER32 nut as a stop really an advantage, though? It wouldn't help in getting the same length of stock projecting from the collet on repeat operations.

Pleased to hear that Ketan. I'll wait a bit before I think about other ways of holding ER25 collets

HS93 · « **Reply #15 on:** March 23, 2012, 06:42:25 PM »

Thank you for that Ketan

John,
do you have to keep on initiating interesting and useful things? Just when I begin to think that I'm quit well equipped you find way of making useful kit available! I wonder what the postage to France is? I won't ask, maybe the next time I got ot the UK to visit the grand children I'll have some delivered there!

Regards, Matthew
