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.

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