	As requested I am enclosing a picture for the collets in question. The collets are 2.04" long, have a .365" shaft diameter with a 5/16" by 32 tpi threaded end. One collet has the name G. Boley Germany2 on the side. - Thanks

	Hi I think they are watchmakers collets off a Boley lathe they are very small much smaller than collets for a Myford or South Bend lathe and may be difficult to replace Cheers Peugeot Man __________________ " For also knowledge itself is power." -- Francis Bacon

	Hi There is a good web site for Boley lathes with many pictures of lathes that they made many were collet type lathes for repetition work. I just typed Boley lathes in the search line. Cheers Peugeot man __________________ " For also knowledge itself is power." -- Francis Bacon
