Re: Use of Teflon

Author: ron b  Date:   2005-01-25 18:46 I don't know any secrets, jmsa, but often wish I did I've found that a good, smooth-jawed bench vice is an invaluable asset for holding the Ferree's collet tool. You needn't clamp it too tightly, just enough to keep it from wandering about. You can also make finer adjustments when it's held that way and both hands are free. Use plenty of lubricant (cork grease works pretty well) and swedge in small increments, just 'til the "play" is gone. Whatever you do, don't forget to keep the matching screw in the hinges when swedging them. I know a chap who modified his collet tool with a "T" handle and that makes it roughly ten times easier to adjust its squeeze. - r b -
