Need 5-C Collet System adapted to CNC Lathe;

Need 5-C Collet System adapted to CNC Lathe;

(OP)
I have been looking for an adapter of some kind to be able to use 5-C Collets on our CNC Lathe which currently uses
the "S-30" collet pads.
      Currently using a small 3-jaw chuck with a 5-C taper on it.  Holding the 3-jaw chuck in a 1-3/4 x 1-3/4 chuck adapter and holding that inside my "S-30" 1-3/4 x 1-3/4 square collet pads.
      It works, but would like to be able to utilize the
chuck clamp and unclamp of the machine with the 5-c collets.
      Does anyone know of such a thing?
Thanks in Advance.

RE: Need 5-C Collet System adapted to CNC Lathe;

A 5c collet closer that mounts directly to your spindle,such as, a2-6, is very common. Search for collet chucks on ebay and you will see several.  I bought the s-30 collets and have not used them yet.  If you no longer need yours, I might buy them.  What is your spindle mount?  I might trade you a 5c chuck.
