To get the best collets at the best prices on eBay I sometimes bought more than I needed to fill out my set. I’ve been putting off this chore for a decade, but it’s time to move the extras out of my shop.

They are photographed by group but sold by the piece. I can get 7 collets into the small flat rate boxes ($7.20) and about 24 into the medium flat rate boxes ($13.65). Please don’t ask for other mailing options; I’m not a business, just a guy.

I = internal threads

64. 22 empty SB plastic containers for 5C collets with lids, 2 without lids, $2 each. Some of the lids are split. Shrinkage from age I think; they are over 50 years old. In a wooden frame these would make a nice collet rack.

I've updated this and pulled in the list of NOS South Bend collets from the other post. The limit of 5 images has been a bugaboo. If I could figure out how to delete the 3 unneeded thumbnails at the bottom, I could also bring in the image of the NOS South Bend collets. Kim
