Here is the more specific place of three collets...1/4, 3/8, and 1/2.

I know there are other companies that make 1/8 sleeves(I need 3/16), but a few inventive users have made their own special collet tool holders for most used diameters of special bits, and set them up for equal tool length so they can be changed out and still preserve the positioning.

Here are pics of Jeff's efforts to make collets..scroll down after opening:

somewhere here in CNCzone there is a thread describing of how he duplicated the profile of the original collet.

Here is a site that I used.
They are the split collar design.
I got the whole 7 piece kit for $19.95
