They don't look like ER32 IMO. Not sure what size they would be.

er32 will go up to 3/4 in inches 20mm in metric, er25 I believe goes to 5/8. they may not even be a standard er size.

I would not want an MT2 chuck unless I was also using a drawbar. The chucks that do use ER32 such as the Beall or the ones sold by PSI or Craft Supplies would be a better choice, at least for me. Good luck.
Do a good turn daily!

They were not a standard ER collet a couple years ago when I was checking. Who knows what may have changed.
If they are not advertised as meeting a standard, probably do not.
I have Bealle and CUSA collet chucks and find both are good. Bealle is a bit better finished, but costs more. CUSA fits 1 1/4 by 8 and 1 by 8 threads (I have both).

They have some weird size collet, the people at the local woodcraft dont even try to sell people them, because they are impossible to find collets for.

I'd look at the CS USA collet set. $10 less expensive and ER32 compatible.

I seriously doubt that they are custom made only for Woodriver. The expense of creating a non-standard collet would make them prohibitively expensive to manufacture or sell. They may be a "DA" series just from the look
If someone who has one would measure the front, back, and angle(s) with calipers, we might be able to find out. All of the standard collets have published standards.

I find its better to compress than to open them up for fit. I have both the metric and inch sets. IF I had to pick one I would pick the metric set. I have seen it stated that allthough they will spread open to fit its not the best thing for them.
