I needed some wrenches for the collets on the pantograph, in the very unlikely sizes of 42/36 and 42/32 millimeters. And I was feeling overwhelmed with other projects (...and lazy...) so I had a pair cut from one of the online services. They definitely came out better than I would have ended up making!

@attoparsec uh
so two ends are 42mm and one 32mm and one 36mm?
(for a minute I assumed those were weird fractions of inches but at least it's not that bad I guess?)

@moira Yeah, sorry. One side of each is 42mm, the other being 36 or 32mm.

@attoparsec no sorry needed i just didn't know offhand why you'd want two of 42mm but i presume there are two ... hex objects you want to control at once?

@moira Each collet has a hex on the nut which you crank down to push the collet against its taper and lock the tool in place. And since these are on pantograph arms that can swing around, there are also flats above each so you can apply the torque without moving the arms. 42/42 for the tool collet, and 36/32 for the stylus collet.
