Colets for mandrell from Woodcraft

[jtate]

I have this mandrell from Woodcraft.
I'd sure like to have additional collets for it. Does anyone know where to get these? I don't know enough about tools to even accurately tell someone what I'm looking for.

I don't believe you can purchase collets in different sizes for that particular device.

BTW, since you asked, 2 "L"s in collet and one "L" in mandrel. [][]

Dang! Sure would be nice to be able to get different collets for this thing - since I already own it and it works nicely for me.

Have you taken one out and measured it? Just wondering if you might find something from the router world that would fit. Can you unscrew the cap and remove the collet for the measurements? Also look for any manufacturing marks which may indicate who made it and the size. Just a thought.

Woodcraft does sell a collet chuck that might fit your needs.

there is only one size for the collet he is using, it uses soft plastic ring to clamp down onto the mandrel. I use it too and love it!!!

I wonder what their thinking was?? Why do you suppose they choose to skip the 7/16" collet in the series??
