What do you do when you have a metric cutter, but no collets that fit? You make an adapter to fit a collet you do have. Dovetail cutter is 12mm, and the 1/2" collet wouldn't hold it tightly enough. I whipped up this aluminum adapter, bored to size. Worked well until the Chinesium cutter decided to shed a tooth. To be fair, I was cutting some pretty hard tool steel.
Full of ideas, but slow to produce parts
