These 5c collet blocks showed up a couple of days ago. They'll make a nice addition to go with the set of 5C collets I bought from my friend Sherman. The collets are a mish mash of different vendors; Hardinge, Brown & Sharpe etc. I'm sure he collected them along the way from the different shops he worked in over his career. A few probably came from his pals in the shops as well. I need to polish them up with some Scotch Brite to get them nice and shiny again. The long term plan is to build a somewhat nice wooden storage box to hold the collets, the blocks and accessories. These blocks didn't come with a spanner to tighten the locking collars so I'll need to purchase or fab one.
