I recently acquired a like new Stuart Batty collet tool handle. Unfortunately the collets are the older style offered by Woodworkers Emporium - the newer ones are 1/64" smaller diameter to provide greater gripping power and I have a couple on order.
My question is how tight is tight enough? I'll be using Trent Bosch hollowing tools as well as 1/2" and 5/8" bowl and spindle gouges. (I have other handles for a few larger tools.)
It seems to me that at those diameters the rotational force of a catch, while significant, shouldn't be strong enough to spin the shaft in a well snugged up handle.
Has this been an issue for anyone? Any advice?
Thanks
