I have some very small bits that have 1/8" shanks but the smallest collet I have is 1/4".

Is there an 1/8" collet available for my Colombo spindle, or possibly some type of adapter?

Thanks in advance.

Raymond,

I just ordered one through Onsrud.com for my 5HP Colombo (ER-25). Part # 34-152 at about $38.

I ordered the one from Enco that Brady suggested, I have had much success with it and would highly recommend it.

I picked up a set of 7 adapter bushings from MLCS. All seven cost a whopping total of 20 bucks. I use the additional sizes for drill bits and just-in-case.

mscdirect.com is also a good source. Not just for collets but for lots of stuff.
