    Tormach TTS Tool Conversion Kit -Height?

    Can anyone tell me the height of the Tormach reference ring that comes in the conversion kit? It's the ring glued into place to reference the generic tool to the TTS collet.
    I would like to know the distance it's going to add between the shoulder of my tool and the bottom of the mill spindle. They are on backorder and I'm waiting...

    Thanks...

    Measures out at .194"

    BTW, depending on the tool, and if you have access to a lathe, you can clearance the tool shoulder to clear the collet stick out past the spindle nose. I did that for my facemill with no problems. That is all the spacer does for you.
