17 Degree Punch Collet-Bezel Forming Plate 4mm to 12mm

Description

Product Overview

The 17 Degree Punch Collet‑Bezel Forming Plate, manufactured by pik, is engineered from high‑grade steel to provide exceptional durability and resistance to deformation during heavy‑duty machining operations. Its compact dimensions of 4 × 2 × 1 inches make it easy to integrate into a wide range of tool setups while delivering reliable performance.

At the heart of the plate are twelve precisely machined conical holes, each cut at a 17‑degree angle to ensure optimal grip on collets ranging from 4 mm to 12 mm. This geometry creates a secure, repeatable hold that minimizes slippage and maintains dimensional accuracy across multiple workpieces. The plate’s surface finish is polished to a fine tolerance, reducing friction and extending the life of both the plate and the collets it supports.

Beyond its mechanical advantages, the plate is designed with user convenience in mind. The flat back provides a stable mounting surface, while the beveled edges prevent accidental damage to surrounding components. The product dimensions and weight balance make it suitable for both bench‑top applications and integration into larger CNC systems, offering flexibility for diverse manufacturing environments.

Technical specifications include a model number 49346, a best‑sellers rank of #65 in Workholding Collets, and a customer rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars based on 11 reviews. These metrics reflect the plate’s strong market acceptance and the confidence users place in its performance.

Usage

This forming plate excels in a variety of settings, from small‑shop prototyping to high‑volume production lines. It is particularly effective for tasks that require precise alignment of small to medium‑size collets, such as drilling, tapping, and milling operations where consistent tool positioning is critical.

Machinists and technicians will find the plate valuable when working with interchangeable collet sets, as the 4‑12 mm range covers a broad spectrum of standard sizes. Its robust steel construction tolerates repeated insertions and removals without loss of accuracy, making it a reliable choice for repetitive processes.

In addition to traditional metalworking, the plate can be employed in assembly and repair scenarios where delicate components need to be held securely without deformation. Its conical design distributes clamping forces evenly, reducing the risk of damage to fragile parts during handling.

Installation & Maintenance

Installing the forming plate is straightforward: align the flat back with the tool holder, secure it using the provided bolts, and verify that the conical holes are unobstructed. For optimal performance, ensure that the mounting surface is clean and free of debris before attachment.

Maintenance primarily involves periodic cleaning of the conical holes to remove metal shavings or coolant residue. A soft brush and mild solvent are sufficient to keep the interior surfaces clear. Inspect the plate for signs of wear or damage annually, and replace if any deformation is observed to maintain accuracy.
