The $30 spin indexers at all the usual outlets only take 5C collets.
Is there a budget indexer that takes R8?
Ive never seen one, and it would be pretty limited in usage if anyone
did. It should be simple enough to make a replacement spindle for one
though.
Why would an R8 Collet be any more limited than a 5C?
Because R8 collets only come in about 8 or so sizes. 5c comes in all
shapes and sizes. Hundreds of them. thousands
