I recently purchased the Penn State Collet Chuck set and am having difficulty using it with purchased dowels. I buy "furniture grade" hard maple dowels yet they still have some irregularities and are oversize by as much as 1/64" which makes the fit far tighter than "slide in". Have any of you been able to solve this problem by purchasing additional slightly oversize collets from Enco or similar sources?
I know that Beall sells more precise dowels, but at a premium price. With the amount of material I go through I hope to solve the problem more economically.
Any suggestions/solution would be appreciated.
Thanks!
