I think I may have 6 or 8 of them buried in a drawer somewhere. Let me dig them out and see what I have.

I looked and I have 5 total, 4 Van Norman brand and 1 off-brand. My memory is mush anymore and I forgot to write down what sizes they were, but I'm pretty sure the Van Normans are 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2". The off-brand one was 21/32" I think or something oddball like that. They're all in great shape with only some discoloration from some rust they'd gathered before I got them. They've all were buffed on a wire wheel then coated with oil when I received them. Make me a fair offer and they're yours if you want them.

The 3/4" was not available from Van Norman in this collet and if you can find one, it will have a very short hold length, as it is nearly as big as the OD of the collet body. Best bet is to make a Weldon type holder for a 3/4" on the machine. I did this by making the holder on the lathe and then finish boring using a SB lathe compound clamped to the table with the head horizontal and feeding with the saddle. I also made the OD of the holder to match the spindle nose of the Logan lathe so I could put the chucks and faceplate for the Logan on the mill for large swing oddball work. Worked out very well.

I don't know. They seem to be listed for $30-$50 each on ebay, so how about $100 plus shipping for all five?
