Machinists? Help me ID a collet!
 

I have these two collets that came with a newer machine I bought earlier this year. Unfortunately, they're not the same style of collet used in my older machines. I think those are "ER16" collets.

The closest I can figure is these are a new style "SE" collet, but I can't really find squat about them, much less anyone who sells them. I need another collet, with a 7-8mm different bore size, very quickly.

Anyone seen these before?

This one on the left has a "TP" logo or something on it. Can't find anything related to "TP" There are no other markings anywhere, on either of them.

Calipers show the diameter at the widest point.

I'm a master CNC machinist. Those look like DNA 16 (Dead Nuts Accurate) colletts from Techniks.

Thanks! I'll give them a call tomorrow and see what they say. They do look very similar, yes!

TP might be the logo of TecnoPinz: Tecnopinz SA - Collets and Nuts

Pick a size...

DNA - Dead Nuts Accurate ER Collets

That's it, thanks!

I did order one of the DNA collets.since they're so similar.. I'm hoping it'll fit the collet nut. We'll find out tomorrow.

Nice find!!

Keep us posted on how they work!

New DNA collet works great. Fit the nut just fine. Now to make a duplicate of the black holder block seen on the push rod.

My assembly guy is not going to like it when this project is done.
