[QUOTE="ltrmc02, post: 875345, member: 39103"] Do any of you guys remove the collet and polish the outter tappered part of the collet so that it'll have a smoother surface to interface with the tappered bushing that holds the mandrel? This surface has rings or ridges where it contacts the madrel bushing which causes the squeezing action of the collet. I disassembled mine to sand the edges of the slits in the collet like I've read that others do but after seeing these ridges I was thinking they needed to be polished down smooth. Also do any of you put a little grease at these contact points and between the die body and collet which has a sliding action? [/QUOTE]
