I'm afraid it's nothing like 6.4. In fact its under 6.2. Two tenths of a millimeter doesn't seem much I know, unless your mandrel shaft is 6.3

Just sent one of these back for a refund because my mandrel (from Taylors Mirfield) wont fit it.

That does supprise me!:thinks:

Mate of mine brought one and used several different Mandrels and they fit.

** just checked with him and he had to drill it out so it would work on standard Mandrel :rolling:**
