I had a chunk of 2 x 12, so I worked out a layout that would hold all 29 collets , plus a few spares. It really helps to mark out all of the sizes on the wood so that you can put them in order as you unpack them.
When I was almost done cleaning all of the collets, I found a duplicate. I had two 15/16" and no 15/32". Pretty easy to see how that could happen. The 5/16" is in the spin indexer because I already used it on a project.
Great way to do it, saves on the cost of the metal ones they charge too much for, and gets rid of one more piece of the big piles of lumber scraps we all have kicking around.
