I have the same problem. Some collets have a metric thread, others an imperial. So, I had to make a new drawbar (it's just C.R.S.) and swap them out as the need arises.
Hint: use a hex collet block to make the wrench flats on the top to get them even all around.

I marked the metric ones with a spot of paint, and the metric drawbar as well, to avoid confusion.
Full of ideas, but slow to produce parts

Same here.  I have tooling with M12x1.75 and 1/2-13 threads.  

Here they are next to the 'temporary' ones:

Bob,

I am curious, the drill bit second row, second in from the right. Do you step drill using something that big or chuck it and go for it?
