collet help

[SamT]

hi guys, i recently purchased a clarke cmd10 mini milling machine

I bought the mill chuck set for the machine from machinemart the other day.

Im after a few more different sized collets for the chuck, but im a little confused on what size i need. I want the collet to accept a 12mm bit and 16mm bit. But not sure which ER collects i need??

The chuck itself is MT2. the collects I have are 3,4,5,6,8,10, but i dont knw what ER they are?????

Any help would be great, im totally new to milling


Cheers

They don't look like ER collets.
I have ER32 and the OD of the collet, at the
largest bit is ~33mm, I have a few odd collets,
presumably ER20 and Er40 and the od's are ~21 and ~41.
Your probably best asking clarke.
I take it there are no markings at all on the body?

Just looked on google and it looks like they might
be Q24-16 collets.
