Analysis: Cheap, aluminum shank so don’t overtighten. Quality control isn’t the greatest on the cheap ones so be sure to test it before the return policy ends. Two test steps, Let it spin in the chuck and make sure it isn’t wobbling. Also make sure the sensor triggers properly.

Video Summary: Less mechanical wear and better repeatability than a mechanical. It also has a larger shank. Will probably need to use a collet. Sticks out further than the mechanical and may not have enough space for small setups.
