Hi Aram, ER series collets make a good system. ER20 would allow you to go from 1 mm or so to .500 inch in overlapping collets. I use ER20's on my cinci and they work just fine. ER20's are small enough so you could turn down the shaft just behind the collet section and use smaller bearings

Actually, these packages probably will install over the top of the current emc2 as far as I know. I think you can only get stand-alone or run-in-place if you compile emc yourself. These new packages are for those who want to try the latest changes without having to compile it themselves. Moses
