Default Collet info and source for us folks with old stuff

I wish there was a book entitled "Everything You Ever Wanted To Know
About Collets".
Machinery's Handbook is good, as far as it goes, but it doesn't go
all that far.
You can glean a fair amount of info from the tool catalogs, but they
don't cover "everything" either.

I recently did a little research when an HSM'er got a US Machine Tool
vertical milling machine and I wanted to show him the collets that fit
the adapter he had. These machines had #9 B&S spindles.
The company sold collet adapters of the "Universal" type, (series OW, Y,
Z and ZZ) which don't show up in any catalog I had ever seen.

While poking around, I found this site, FYI:

http://gpcollets.com/Galaxy%20Produc...%20Catalog.pdf

Sure was helpful to me.
