Hey Koz,

Hmmmmm.....without going out to the shop to measure, these might be
the collets used on a drill sharpener. They would chuck into a holder
collet on the machine, one collet for each size drill but. Mine has
from 1/16 to 1/2 by 64ths, plus A to Z letter, plus 1 to 59 Number.
They have the drill size stamped on the face of each.

Take care.

Now that makes sense..there are a ton of sizes that tend to be in the
wire range. I'll have to look at the markings and see if there are any
old letter or wire sizes stamped on em.

As long as someone else is asking about collets.....

I have about 150 that I haven't been able to I.D. either. They're about
.565 dia x 1.25 long with no thread for a draw tube. profile is similar
to what GTO posted except nose isn't tapered and they are smaller

Also in the same box, .75 O.D. x .1.5 long and many .375 O.D. x 1.25
long (these have a tapered nose)

Yea, it's a little hard without posting a pic but I was hoping someone
might at least know what to look into so I could try and ID them myself.

Or...if you can use em, let me know. I'm kinda tired of tripping over
them. I'll give better details and send a pic.

Probably WW-II vintage collets for Logan's proprietary production closer, which
was mounted ahead of the spindle and did not utilize a drawtube.
