John,
Me too. At first I thought I would need at least one collet to install the chuck on the lathe just to measure run-out. After smacking myself in the head a few times I realized I can, and should, indicate off of the ER taper on the collet chuck. So now I don't need to wait for the collets to arrive before I begin the project.
