I don't know why, but sometimes my posts don't show up. I hope this one does as I am re-sending it for the second time.

ER16A is a hex nut. Coarse thread.

ER16UM is a coarse thread "castle" type nut where you need a spanner wrench made for the nut.

ER16M is a mini nut with a fine thread for close C-C.

There are also special hex mini-nuts with the fine thread.

See these links:

Hex or SLOT nuts (A or UM):

Mini or M:

This video shows a UM nut:

This video shows a hex nut:

This video shows an M nut:

Of course, these are not all ER16, but you get the point.

ER8 is available in mini or hex-mini

ER11 is available in hex, mini or hex-mini

ER16 is available in hex, mini, slot or hex-mini

ER20 is available in hex, mini, slot or hex-mini

ER25 is available in slot, mini or hex-mini

ER32 is available in slot, or hex-mini

ER40 and ER50 are available in slot only as far as I know.

There are also some special nuts for close C-C coarse thread applications, but they are made by special vendors only.

ER16 is larger than the ER16M..nuts are smaller as well on the ER16M as I recall.

The ER16M is for more delicate work and closer entry. Best as I can recall. I dont see em much except in swiss shops

The methodology of the left has always been:

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie

Very well posted Sir! Bravo!! And I thank you as well. Saved!!

Might we have a bit more context?

We might, but Joe already answered the question quite adequately. I also got an email with a simpler version of the same answer from Andy at Ugra CNC.
