As you can see the original split in 1/2.

Yup, that's broke!

Eric, those do look familiar.
If you are interested, I could check at my own local tool store this weekend and see what they have.
I will take your measurements and my calipers with me.
I can let you know prices and see if you're interested.

It was a 3/8" DIN 6388 type B25, right?

PS: I thought I had posted a picture once about teh baskets of collets they had in stock at the time...but i could bot find the picture.

That would be fantastic brino, yup it’s a Type B DIN 6388- Type 25 3/8”.

The thing is now, getting one off’s is one thing but if they’re not common do I look at a new system? (Smirk)

By the way brino, is your local store a chain?

Nope. It's Cardon Tools just down the road from me (about 15 min door-to-door).
Here's their web site: https://cardontools.com/
(Full disclosure, I do have some family members that work there....in fact that website was built by my son.)

Oh, and I found one picture of a box of various collets.....

If you cannot read the tag it says $10 each.

Thanks brino,

That’s quite the collection and only one tub!!

I’ll definitely be looking them up and I like the idea of supporting local family businesses.

I just got a reply back from JL at Cardon tools, they currently don’t have any Type B collets in stock.

Thinking I’ll have to call a couple suppliers mentioned in previous posts.
