First off, sorry about posting something concerning metalworking.

I bought a Precise brand high speed spindle off ebay to try
engraving. Its a type S 65.

Can't find a collet for it. Ideas?

The pic is of a 1/4" collet, I need a 1/8"

Use an insert for a 1/4" die grinder that holds a 1/8" shaft.

Excellent idea! Assuming they are made well enough for milling
rather than turning a burr or stone.
