Especially for small work, holding the workpiece can be a challenge. Here I'm showing how you can use an ER32 collet chuck to hold wooden workpieces. These collets are primarily used for metal working but as you can see here, they will also hold wood.
You can buy a collet holder for about 20 euro's / 20 dollar on Aliexpress. A starter set of collets will cost you about the same. Be sure to buy a holder that supports a drawbar, otherwise it will be useless and even dangerous. When you do have the right version, I think its an excellent addition, especially when you are doing small work.
Let me know what you think!
