(OP)
Does anyone know where our machine shop can get SolidWorks models of various collets? On special occasions they have a need to make their own. Thank you

RE: Collets

Not sure of an available model but I can tell you this, you can order machinable collets from MSC and probably a host of other tool supply companies.  They come in most of the standard sizes and you machine the diameter or shape you need into them.  I am sure your people are probably already aware of that but I thought I would throw it out there just in case.

thanks aamoroso. I will pass on to them.
