Anyone use Collet Block's for Milling? All I can find are 5c blocks.

Brad Benevolent Overlord and site owner Staff member Apr 16, 2020 #4 I have ONE 5C collet right now, 3/4” for the Star dies. In time I will get more. I tend to be cheap as hell with that kind of thing. I have a reasonably complete set of R8 for the mill. I use the 3/8 and 3/4 the most by far.
