I found this listing in 5 minutes using a little intelligent searching using........




Yes, you guessed it, Google!

I was tempted not to bother but it might help someone else later.

Thanks its helpfull to know there the same, but my spindle is a UFM 500 not listed

It actually looks like they aren't, the part numbers for the 500 and 1050 collets are different and Kress listing suggests they share a fitting with the 1050, not the 500.

This company lists the correct collets near the bottom of the page -

I don't know if they are still trading or have stock but it's worth asking - again, found using Google and varying search terms!

cheers found them waiting for reply for 2 weeks now but sk11 info is helpfull

You'll have noticed that they list different collets for the 500 to the 1050 and it's the 1050 that's common with Kress?
