Has anyone here herd of an ER 40 Spindex being available for sale? I googled looking for one but only found an adapter to use with 3c collets. To me, it seems that an ER 40 Spindex is a natural progression for the ER series fixtures, etc.
Thanks,
Pete

Spindexers are a dime a dozen in 5c. One of these 5c ER40 collet chucks might work for you:

Prolly the best solution but wanted to try to reduce any chance of compound runout, which often occurs in the kind of tooling I am willing to spring for. Prolly worth a shot though.
Thanks again,

Pete, there is a ER collet nut available that allows one to zero the runout in ER collets. I have used these for adjusting the runout out of reamers held in ER collets, and they are quite handy. Check the site: http://www.easyzeronut.com

BUT, they might be worf it. I could see never mounting my 4 jaw ever again with the work I do. Are they easy to manipulate? Imagine, verry little stick out and weight, NICE .
Thanks,

They are tricky to adjust because there are six adjusting screws. You'll have to practice manipulating them to get a feel for how to move them properly. An adjustable torque wrench helps. They are of limited use, but are really handy for certain jobs. I used one with a homemade slitting saw arbor to get it to run perfectly true as well as chucking reamers and standard 4-flute small carbide end mills for use in a manual milling machine.
