From Gordon's post- "...Yes, the collet is too long and when I turned the handle all the way the shaft was still LOOSE...."
It is unclear exactly which part of the collet section is "too long'.
--------------
I have rewritten all my posts using the following words-
"Collet"- we all seem to agree on this
"Handle"- The part that the collet screws into.
"Sleeve"- The hexagonal part that goes around the collet.
--------------------
All I was saying is this... The collet was really long. If you assembled the tool in the "normal" way, the collet would screw all the way into the handle and reach the end of the hole BEFORE the jaws of the collet even came in contact with the top of the sleeve. Thus, the collet jaws never tightened. Turning the sleeve upside down allowed it to work (a bit) since the bottom hole of the sleeve is significantly smaller than the top.
