There is a guy on eBay from Rochester NY that will make you any size and taper you want.

If you have a lathe now, buy the delrin and make them yourself. Probably be cheaper in the end. I think I got a 1 ft stick for $20. Good luck my friend.

All you need is a set of calipers, drill chuck for your tail stock , a drill bit and a boring bar mounted on your cross slide.

I just use a strip of rubber I cut from rubber roof material. It works well and it’s nice because it fits all shafts

Hi Duane
We are not suppose to give sources anymore in public but if you send me an email, I'll tell you who sells pretty accurate collets.

I recently started using the rubberized strips that a certain cuemaker sells and I have been impressed with them. They protect the shaft or butt and one size fits all - no fiddling with a collet that's a little too large and the next one down is a little too small. I thought they wouldn't be accurate or concentric, but they are more accurate than the sized collets I have. My collets seem to be a little out-of-round.
My 2 cents,
Gary
