Generic 1-1/8 5C Round Collet Hardened Precision Ground Workholding

Description

Product Overview

The Generic 1-1/8 5C round collet is engineered for high‑performance workholding in precision machining. Constructed from hardened steel and precision ground to tight tolerances, the collet delivers exceptional concentricity (TIR 0.0005″) and repeatable clamping force. It features both internal (1.041 x 24) and external (1.242 x 20) threads, allowing secure attachment to a wide range of chucks and spindle noses. Weighing only 7 ounces, the collet balances strength with lightweight handling, making it a versatile choice for CNC mills, lathes, and manual drill presses.

Usage

This collet excels in environments where precision and repeatability are critical. It is ideal for holding small‑diameter workpieces such as shafts, rods, and tooling components during milling, drilling, tapping, and turning. The dual‑thread design simplifies setup for both internal and external mounting, reducing changeover time on the shop floor. Whether you are a professional machinist in a high‑volume production line or a hobbyist building prototypes, the 1-1/8″ size fits standard 5C collet chucks and provides reliable grip for a variety of materials including aluminum, steel, and plastics.
