[Jewelry making - Article 00635] - [Orchid] ER16 spindle accuracy

    I am considering updrading my Taig with the ER16 spindle. I mostly
    cut wax models, so things like rigidy are less of an issue to me. But
    I'm wondering if the (assumed) improvement in run out with the new
    spindle would make a noticeable improvement using.004" profilers?
    ...or if there are any other advantages. I know that the ER16 collets
    can fit odd size tools due to their design, but in my case I use
    mostly tools with 1/8" or 1/4" shanks. I think I read that the ER16
    can go up to 18,000 RPM, so if I ever want to upgrand my motor, I
    could boost the RPM. 

    Any other advantages I am missing?
