    Need help with collet size: PC Mill -30

    I want to take my milling to the next step and realize I need some collets to do this.

    Right now I am using a small piece of drilled out and tapped aluminum bar stock to hold my end mills.

    Sometimes it works....sometimes it is ugly.

    The only info I found was from a NZ selling a similar model who said the collets have a 10mm OD.

    Anyone know what kind of collets to use?....or

    Are there measurements I could take of the inside of the spindle where the collet fits in to find out if there is standard type of collet to buy?


    Thanks

    Here is a crude cross-section of where the collet would fit in.

    Maybe the included numbers may jog somone's memory about familiar collet sizes.

    ....I hope.

    Thanks for looking
