Default "Precision" Pin Vise

Do you have a Morse or other taper in the drilling machine ?
if so get a high quality collet holder and double angle insert in 1/8 or
whatever the actual diameter is.

The big question is the drilling machine has bearings that will keep the
drill stable at speed ?

If you don't have a taper in the drilling machine - they make holders
with round shafts.

If you get a round shaft with a flat, that flat aligns with a hole in
the chuck if held that way or not on a jaw.

Are there any pin vises suitable for CNC drilling at high speeds for micro

I know. I know. Sounds like an oxy moron. I think if I can find a pin
vise that will actually hold the bits straight, and has low enough runout,
it will be possible with correct speed and feed calculations.

I bought two mid price pin vises from two different sounces, and
unfortunately neither holds a drill bit particularly straight.

In the mean time I ordered some carbide micro drills in the sizes I need,
but because of their DOC capabilities, I'll need to back drill the part.
Oh, joy. A secondary setup for a part what fun. LOL.

FYI: Did some tests with what I had and found HSM Adviser wanted to feed
way to fast. As a check I plugged the same numbers into ME Consultant, and
it indicated less than half the feed rate of HSM. The HSM numbers flexed
and broken drill bits very quickly. Haven't retried yet with the ME
numbers.
