Exactly. My quick change collet set only goes to 5/8". My R8 collets go to 7/8" but I lose 2" quill travel if I go to them. I haven't had a use for any ball end mill greater than 5/8" yet.

What I need is a precision ground 4" high table adapter so that the R8 collets will extend down to the work surface. Until I get that sorted out, I'll stick with the QC collets.

I like to amuse myself with humorous comments, but I realize that my humor is only appreciated by myself so I'll delete them after I have my chuckle. I crack myself up sometimes!
