    Default Collet Identification Help

    I picked up a bunch of collets today and there are two that I'm not sure what kind they are. They are 3.5" long and .8125 wide (approximate as I don't have my calipers with me). One is a Porst Bros of Chicago and the other is a Rivett and says 4 NS on it. Is the 4 NS the kind of collet? I haven't heard of this one and didn't see anything when I searched. Can anyone help me identify what type of collet as well as an idea of which machines have the same?
    Thanks,
    Dale

    4NS is the designation. Rivett 608 is one machine that uses these, probably are others. See: http://shopswarf.orconhosting.net.nz/colletap.html

    The old Gorton drill grinder uses these, how ever most of them are in your new car body or neighbors steel siding.
