Steve,
I imagine the new grinders use the same collets.
You'll probably have to buy one from Gravograph.
When I bought my used CG4, I needed an additional collet. Collets are basically a-dime-a-dozen. Well, unless you have a New Hermes cutter grinder.
Standard collets won't fit the machine, because NH puts a slot on the side of their collets that interlocks with a "ridge" inside the area where the collet fits.
If you're a machinist, you could probably alter a stock collet. If not, expect to pay $60(?) for a collet that you can buy elsewhere for $15.00.
The good news, is, you only have to buy it once. :-) David "The Stunt Engraver" Lavaneri
