Pin Vice problems

[shpangle]

My pin vice doesn't grip the very small 0.6mm and below drill bits very well. Anybody have any tips ?

Hi does it have removable collets? if so just get smaller collet (some will close totally so will fit any size of drill bit)
Check out Squires Tools for Pin Vices they usually have quite a few different ones (Draper do an excellent one with 3 different sized collets)

Many thanks for that Brian ! It does have two removable collets however even the smaller of the two doesn't fully close ! Looks like I will be trying Draper !

Thanks again !
