The answer is S-pads. S-pads can be shared between many brands of machines whether the master collet is mounted directly in a machine spindle (single or multiple), in a collet adaptation chuck, or in a collet block. If you work in a multi-spindle shop, you already know how much faster it is to change pads, rather than collets, from job-to-job. The style-S master collet, although originally...
