Hi, do you think the order could be ordered this week? Be great to test out the new morticiser bit. ---

Hey, it was delivered this morning. I think we still need to make a collect for this bit though. I don’t know if we have an imperial size that’ll work with this one. If we ask the [@metaltechs](https://discourse.southlondonmakerspace.org/groups/metaltechs) nicely, maybe there’ll help to turn us one from stainless steel. ---

Can the collet be made from aluminium? I’ve been inducted , with a little help from [@metaltechs](https://discourse.southlondonmakerspace.org/groups/metaltechs) could we make one? ---

Is it just a hollow cylinder? Sure, seems to be a great newbie exercise for turning something to dimension. ---

From what I can tell, yep, a hollowed out cylinder, is there any stock in the metal area we could use to make? If we have the stock shall we find a date to do it? I’m happy to do it but feel more confident if there’s a [@metaltechs](https://discourse.southlondonmakerspace.org/groups/metaltechs) on site to check in on. ---

I see some people talking about measurements and conversions. Just for sake of reference, I made myself a list a long time ago with metric/imperial/fractions/hex/spanner/AWG conversions up to 1 inch. It is all correct to the best of my knowledge. Hope some will find it useful for finding the correct fractions you need.
