WW Collet Info

[JWWalthall]

Does anyone have the dimensions and angle of the WW collet used in the sherline. Or can someone that has one measure the collet for me. I am designing a machine and would like to use this collet but need to see what the diamater of the spindle shaft ends up after I machine the taper . I really don't want to buy one as I would like to get this design done before the time it takes for sherline to ship one to me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dimensions that I need are:

Overall lenght taper angle and lenght of taper, barrel lenght and diameter, keyway size , and if there is any taper on the barrel .

Thanks

Have a look in this pdf. Your collet might be here.

That file doesn't have WW collets...

Sherline's site only states:
Sherline WW collets that have a shank diameter of .312-.313". Other manufacturers make collets that vary in size up to .314-.315"

The larger size is referred to as an 8mm collet....

It does not appear to give the angle of the taper. AT least I do not seem to be able to find it.

The Sherline document says to true the adapter to 20 degrees, so I'd bet the collet angle is ..... 20 degrees.

Yes, I know I'm 2 years too late

What good is it if it's not worth waiting two years for?

I thunk those were like C3 collets or something.
