Does anyone know where I can find the specs for a 5C collet? I want to make a collet chuck for a lathe. The Machinery Handbook has some of the dimensions but not for the taper.
Thanks,
Dave

Always 10 degrees.
Look up "Make your own Collet Chuck" in "Metalworking #1" (Village Press), page 56, by Pat Loop.

As long as we're at it, where can I find the dimensional data for 10mm collets as used in Derbyshire and/or Levin jeweler's lathes?
