Long "5C" Collets

Good morning,

I own a WADE turret Lathe that uses long 5C type collets like that. As it turns out, WADE had their own "proprietary" collet configuration. I quick Google search might show some pictures of what you have. Take care.
 
Thanks, the dimensions listed here certainly look right but if I'm reading this right they have different thread pitches, 16 tpi vs 20 tpi. These seem to have the same thread pitch. They will mount and appear to work in the 5C adapter for my spindle. They do stick out the front slightly more when tightened, but the taper appears to end an then the transition to the face is more gradual/rounded than the 5C collet I have. It does take longer to tighten them than the 5C collet as well which makes sense.
