C4 Collets

[Doozer]

Hi All,

Anyone know where I can find some C4 collets (for Colchester Bantam)
I've got the 1/8" series, but I need some in between ones plus a few metric.

Cheers, Alan.

Not familiar with C4 - do you mean 5C?

He might mean 4C, the smaller brother of 5C.

Used, eBay UK £19 each.

New, Jubilee Machine Tools (used on Myford MG12 grinder) £50 (+VAT ?) each.

Edit:

The Bantam spindle taper (4 Morse) is too small to accommodate 5C. The closely-related Chipmaster has 4 1/2 Morse spindle, which does take 5C.
