Basic staking set

Recommended Posts

I've got this in an impulse buy, not too expensive and nothing sophisticated, probably good enough for a beginner. No famous brand, domestic production dated 1/1/61.

Silly question, what's the purpose of having the collet lock the stake?

I usually have the collet lock on just enough to hold the weight of the stake so it will hover above until I'm ready to tap, makes it easier to position whatever it is you're staking. Once or twice I've had to tighten it significantly though because I've needed to tap something hard but without the stake going too far down.
