Nice Alan thanks for the quick reply. I have a old mill with Morse taper three and er collets it's a pain to change like your setup. I have a CNC lathe that I am trying the Acorn on now all works ok except trying to get the turret tool changer to work with it. Thanks again.
TheJR914 i got the iscar shrink fits from msc, you will definitely need a induction heater to use them. The acorn has been working great for over a year now, run it almost every day.
Hi Alan,
Looks like you have a nice setup there.

Where did you get the er holder from? Nice job ! How is the Acorn working out for you ?

Those ER holders are pretty slick. Do you measure the tool length with a height gauge or in the machine?
22BOZIDAR thank you, i measure with a renishaw tool setter on the mill.
