After waiting nearly a month for my collet chucks to arrive from China I was finally able to give these Collets a once over. My Chinese chucks tested to have 0.002" of run-out. The Collets in conjunction with the chucks are showing 0.004" of run-out at best to 0.010" of run-out at most.I've read a lot of complaints about bad run-out but with mine I have noticed that if I gradually spin the collet in the chuck as I am snugging the collet nut, the run-out seems to diminish as the collet becomes better seated. These collets seems to be plated with chrome or some other shiny coating as a rust inhibitor, which I imagine is a contributing factor to the excessive run-out as the plated surfaces become inconsistent . Therefore, if you desire precision tooling, I recommend buying precision ground, non-plated collets. Otherwise I feel these are a great value and will serve my intended purposes.
