Hi
Has any one used ER16 collets with the kress 1050 spindle machine?
Have seen some info on this site but unable to find it.

Hi
Thanks for the replay. Sorry a bit after your reply been out and about. Have you seen any reports on using ER collect with Kress 1050. Did look on this site but seem to find conficting reports ER16 then ER20. Did not wish to get one stuck in collet nut. Only way is to get hold of one and compare.

Hi,
As I run the sorotec site you linked onto, here some information.
Wether ER 16 or ER 20 will fit in the Kress 1050 Spindel Motor. Both sizes are way to big for the Kress. Here is a table of the sizes in millimeter from the ER Series.

The proper Collets for the Kress you can find here.

Hope this information helps you.

Best Regards
