Hi all,
After exhausting my patience with google and looking through the Hardinge catalogs I have come to the conclusion I need some help. I have a 5/8” shank drill/reamer holder that uses a collet. I only have 1 collet and I’m trying to figure out who,the manufacturer was and if I can get additional collets. It’s a very nice tool with eccentric locking on the front plate and an internal stop screw in the shank.

A couple pictures are attached. Unfortunately the only markings are the number 20 and a long part number, no other marks.

If anyone can help identify the collet type or manufacturer that would be fantastic.

Regards
Byron

Wow, that's a new one for me. It's not a Boyar-Schultz DC holder, because DCs take a dual-angle collet, not a push-out type collet. It's not a Brown&Sharpe stub collet holder, for even less subtle reasons.
 
Thanks for the replies.
Limy the c-series looks like it. I’ll contact Somma and see what they say. I looked through their catalog and found the single angle collets but not these. If I get a positive ID I’ll post it here. It really is a nice tool.

These are Balas/sandvik flexi-grip C2 collets. No longer made.
Thanks for the help getting me on the right track
 
I found a few on eBay. I’ll give small tools a try and keep watching eBay. Thanks again for all the help.
