Wasted a whole shift on a bad collet setup

Forgot to check the runout on a new collet before a big job, and it threw the finish off by a mile. Had to scrap about $300 in material and re-run everything. Anyone else have a go-to brand that actually holds tight?

I switched to Royal collets last year and my runout is consistently under 0.0002. They're pricey but they don't budge.

Wait, under two tenths? That's insane... my setup would be lucky to see half that.

Always thought that was overkill, but @irisw73 makes a good point.
