Or get one from here, Merry Miller! :

and the collets also...

No vested interest, just a satisfied customer here. At the moment the 3rd order from me is under way. You can't beat these prices...

Greetings, Hansrudolf

Steve, I don't know which is the limit for import taxes in GB, but the gents at CTC know their business! On my last order they cut away all the prices in the accompanying paperwork, and on the customs declaration about half of the effective value was stated... no import taxes for amounts around 50 $ here! But maybe I should not tell that the whole world...

The insured air freight was between 22 and 27 $. When I think that the cheapest insert holders here cost about 3-4 times the CTC price, thenI am still saving. A collet here costs usually around 30$, against  3.25 (ER 25). The quality is as good as the domestic ones, imho.

Merry Miller, what is this Myford collet??? A ER25 is a ER25 is a ER25 (hmm, kind of citation, but I can't remember from whom )

Certainly there are no 'double length' ER collets; it must be another type.

The main advantage of the Myford 2 MT Collet, which is located and closed by means of a nose piece, is that the collet features a through bore. Most other 2 MT collets have blind bore because the collets are closed by means of a draw bar. The Myford collet permits longer lengths of material to be passed through the collet where it is supported in the spindle against whirling and allows the part to be machined and positioned nearer to the spindle nose leading to greater              accuracy.
Imperial Collets are available in individual sizes from 1/16” to ½” in 64th increments (32 in a full set).
Metric Collets are available in individual sizes from 2mm to 13mm in 0.5mm increments (23 collets in a full set).
