TTT. Nice to have this kind of threads available. Bue--.

I would use the non moving collar. I had the bearing on mine and when the jig hits it, there is still some slight wear going on as the jig has to slow down the bearing.

I went to the collar a year or so ago and have been happy.

I have the collar but use a stop to keep it from spinning as BigJim suggested.

Well after 3 plus years, my initial plastic ring wore out...luckily a good buddy of mine welded me up a ring assembly out of 40 guage steel pipe.  I am back in business!

This was a good thread to look back on....especially remembering a time, not that long ago, that I did not even have a drill press.....I am not sure how I got anything done.
