Gene,
I have never gotten them from this supplier, but I do not spend $27 for a collet, either. There are surely some concerns and variations that must occur... but I have not yet been able to tell the diff. SO don't get to feeling too defensive!
Hope all is well with your business! Keep up the cool work!

I use a lot of these inside my basic 1/2" collet,
They are quicker to change with the bit already in them.

The decimal point seems to be the most important on the z axis... x & y not so much....

Get my collets from Tekniks. Have worked for me without failure since 2009. Have 4 different sizes I use regularly.
