My main spindle tool for the mill is an ER-40 collet chuck. Most of the time it works just fine as it is but there are times that I need to drop the tool down a few inches. For this an ER-16 Collet Chuck Extension is great. The best ones I've found are made by Craftsman Industries & sold everywhere but there's a huge price difference among sellers. Look at one example:
Craftsman PCH-ER16-1000 (1" shank, 7.20" overall)
MSC price $157.37
Lake Tool & Supply $76.50
Lake Tool is really nice to deal with & will order in any item they don't stock (like the collet chuck listed above).
