That machine has an MT3 taper for the mill spindle so an R8 will not fit, you should be looking for an ER type collet chuck with MT3 shank

He already has this set for the clarke mill, i think he wants to know what type of collet is used in the set, so he can buy an r8 holder for them for his denford mill.

Doh !!
Just measure the outside diameter of a collet if it 32mm then the size is ER32

ah righ thank you thats the answer I was looking for. I do have the collet set for the clarke mill and yes I was looking to just have to get a new chuck but was not sure of how to wrk out which ones I had but that answers the question great now all I have to do is mesure them up.
I don't have an engineering background so this is new to me as to how to work oout whats what lol I'm just a newbi wet behinethe ears type of guy ;D
-
Ok I have mesured the collets and they do not go with any specs I can find or in the ER system.
The Dia is 24mm with a lenght of 45mm
So it looks like I am no further on that I was lol oh well back to the drawing board
-
Attach a pic or supply a link to what you have and I am sure someone will know.

the set goes up to 16mm bore, so if any it would be an er25
-
The Q24-16 is a type of collet i think from what I have read on the web

to use them, it looks like you're going to have to make a holder out of a soft ended r8 blank using the nut and collets from your set.
