    Collet/Collet Holder

    Hi All,
    Just recently purchased the flashcut CNC 6500 . It was supposed to come with collet and collet holder but did not and the tech support is being less than useful in this area. Regardless, I'm new to the area so please forgive my ignorance; I have truly been trying to figure this out but am slightly stumped. The milling motor this CNC employs is found here It says it takes an 8mm collet. I have CNC tools with a 1/8" back end. What i need is a collet and collet holder, compatible with the milling motor (kress 800 FME) that will fit my CNC tools. I'm looking at mcmaster carr, but they all seem too large. Any suggestions? Again, sorry for my ignorance

    I did a quick search on EBay for Kress and came across manycollet sizes. Here is a link for 1/8 and 1/4 ones.
    I hope this helps.
