you can machine one. it would be cheaper than to buy and fit.
hi
i im after an er40 chuck and spanner,doesnt have to have the nut or the end part that goes into the machine as that would be getting cut off as its going to be used just for holding some small bar. im in the uk(wakefieldyorkshire),have paypal so let me know what you have please...anything as long as it holds a collet cleanly.
cheers dave
(sorry i already posted this in the for sale section also by mistake)

Go to Ebay and search for ER40, several complete Collet sets will come up. Just purchased mine from Ebay Seller ID: ctctoolseller and was very satisfied with quality, service and price. They ship worldwide and are reasonable!! Ron (steamtoy) USA.
i dont have a lathe anymore so cant make one or i would..would be much better if it was a round block of steel with a taper to fit an er40 collet in..im using it to squeeze a round piece of tubing to a slightly smaller size for an snug fit(half a tho at most)..going to use an arbor press to push the collet down into the holder/chuck rather than use the collet nut...like this picture i drew.
