In a past video you mentioned how the tool length setscrew diminishes your holding power on er collets. Does the same thing happen with the PG collet? Charles
It can certainly have an effect, but things are a bit different with the PG series. For PG collets, the tool needs to always be touching the backup screw. This ensures that proper holding power is achieved and the collet acts as it needs to. Pulling too much of the tool out and not having it against the backup screw can damage the collet itself by clamping around the bottom of the tool. Different beast, but same topic!
