I have put a picture of the mystery "Eklind" milling head into the
dropbox. Any leads to a source of collets would be appreciated.

Maybe you didn't see my previous post. The link posted previously by
Artemia Salina was very close to a B3. I got my B3's from Dave
Ficken. Here's the link again so you can decide whether they're worth
checking out.

The B3 dimensions are the third one on the page.

Good luck.

Your earlier post didn't appear on Newsfeeds, but they have been having
problems the past few days. The B3 is similar but different. On the
Eklind collet the drawbar end drops down to .625 (there's a step in the
socket), and the tapered section is longer. I got an idea of what the
collet would look like by wrapping modeling clay in saran wrap and
forcing it into the bore. Thanks for looking for me.
