Just got an email from Enco on collects and have been looking into to buying a set. Are the Tormach collets a special size or are they all the same ?

Has anyone tried these ?

Also found them here, but sold individually.

Even better deal, that's if they fit

ER collets are standard, if you have an ER-20 collet chuck, any ER-20 collet will work. The Maritool collets are probably the best choice among those you have listed.

The ER 20 collet has a standard of dimensions, but not all are created equal in quality. I buy mine from Maritool because real good quality for the money. I also own 4 Maritool straight shank tool holders that I have installed TTS Tool Conversion Kit (30675)on and they are precise and a deal for the money. The only thing about the tool holder is it is about 3/4 of an inch longer than the ones you get from Tormach. I hope this helps..

I bought a set of accupro er-20 collets from mscdirect - they fit perfectly in the tormach tool holders... watch for the sales - got mine 45% off with free next day shipping. OUTSTANDING!!! you pay for it if you dont get a sale price but you cant beat their shipping!!!

Yes not all are created equal. I have some cheap china ones off ebay that have tremendous run out ( .006 , yes .006 ! ).

You do get what you pay for with precision instruments in most cases.

Ouch, thanks guys. Maybe I'll just stick with what Tormach's sells.
