That is a beautiful and expensive double angle collet set.
I use them on my metal lathe and Mill. They are overkill.

I'd consider C5 collets if you can get a chuck.

Bison is a good name and rated for Steel - so it is true running.
C5 has square and hex and round collets.

Thanks Martin. Fred sent me the PDF file and I think for now, I'll make
some wood collets for this project. Later, I'll buy a regular 3 or 4
jaw chuck.

Now all I need is some 1x8tpi nuts:-)
