04) Micro Lathe Collet Set

Micro Lathe collet closer with 8 collets 

Collet set includes collet nut with collet sizes (1/8", 5/32", 3/16", 7/32", 1/4", 9/32", 5/16", and one blank).

Thread Size 3/4" x 16 tpi.

The collet is used to hold small diameter workpieces and small diameter milling cutters.

The advantages of collets are:

• material can be loaded quickly
• collets are very accurate
• maximum spindle speeds can be used

Note: (A collet turning at 5000 rpm is a lot safer than a chuck at 5000 rpm).

Collets normally accept material that is .001" over the collet size and .004" under the collet size. Bar stock is usually within this tolerance.
