I was going to buy one of these for my Seag C6, then it occurred that if I picked up a chuck on an MT3 taper I'd be able to use it in the mill as well.
Would I lose anything doing this?
Thanks

You lose the ability to use the through bore if you go the MT chuck route. A backplate chuck will allow you to chuck up long lengths of stock in the lathe.

Going with the backplate will also allow you to bolt it to the milling or rotary table, should the need arise. Can only say good things about the ones from Arc Euro...

So the real answer is you have two - one on a backplate and one on a MT.

Surely that would only be of use for threaded shank end mills, slot drills etc. An ER collet set is much more versatile than that.

Looks like I need a word with Mr Swali then...
