What series collets do I buy?

Nov 27, 2006 2 Replies

I just bought a Universal Engineering acura-flex collet holder that has a morse #3 taper on one end for my lathe. It came with a 5/8" collet.



I would like to buy some additional collets for the tool but I can't figure out how they are specified. What do I measure on my sample collet to determine what series to buy?

I saw that site before I posted. The dimensions they offer don't seem to correspond with collet descriptions I saw at the product web sites I visited.
