You can sometimes find them on ebay, but often they are listed as 5C sleeves, and frequently are listed as fitting a particular lathe. You might be able to find the specs on the lathes listed and find one with a MT5 taper in the headstock.Where to buy? I have lots of 5c collets and no way to use them. I want to go cheap and use a adapter that will screw into a rod of sorts. - pm1236 with 1 1/2 inch spindle
I look through MSC and Enco but don't see wording.
Can anyone give me a part number or page out of those books. I can really use help

As for the thread sizes on the internal and external 5C collets, I have discovered they may not all be a standard size. I have a 5C collet block and a depth setting fixture that is supposed to fit the inside thread. I have found some collets fit these better than others, and some of the internal threads are too tight to fit the depth fixture. I do not understand why they would not be a standard size.
