I've had better luck with Enco/MSC than ebay. All of Asia's production

Terry - Enco/MSC has a variety of taper to taper tools. Cost wasn't bad if
I remember correctly.

?? Yeah , I ordered one on ebay for about 12 bucks . Close inspection
revealed that when I cut from left to right the cut was convex , like a
barrel . Just the opposite cutting from r to l , concave . That one did
fit and hold , but it was just the ends that were in contact with the
chuck taper . That's OK though I can use that R8 adapter for another
project on down the line .


Â* Well , if you buy the cheapest ... I usually go for somewhere in the
mid-price range , after checking the feedback scores and looking the
item over . If the pics are fuzzy and weird I usually pass , got burned
by fuzzy photos once and that was enough .
