Tegara 5/8 in 5 Micron SK16 Collet Alloy Steel Workholding Tool

Description

Product Overview

The Tegara 5/8 in 5 Micron SK16 collet is engineered for professionals who demand exacting precision and reliable performance from their workholding accessories. Constructed from hardened alloy steel, the collet delivers a consistent 0.0002‑inch tolerance, ensuring a secure grip on tools ranging from 0.6054 to 0.6250 inches in diameter. The SK16 series is renowned for its robust design, and this model incorporates a 5‑micron tolerance that minimizes runout and vibration during high‑speed machining operations. Weighing only five ounces, the collet is lightweight enough for rapid tool changes yet strong enough to withstand the rigors of continuous production environments. Its compact 5/8‑inch shank fits seamlessly into standard spindle noses, making it a versatile choice for CNC mills, lathes, and manual drill presses. The alloy‑steel construction resists wear, corrosion, and deformation, extending service life and reducing the need for frequent replacements. Detailed specifications include a part number 202‑7274, a measurement system in inches, and a TIR of 0.0002, reflecting the tight tolerances that Tegara guarantees for every unit.

Usage

Designed for a broad spectrum of machining tasks, the Tegara SK16 collet excels in both metalworking and woodworking applications. In CNC milling, the collet’s precise tolerance ensures that end mills, drills, and reamers maintain their intended path, reducing tool deflection and improving surface finish. For manual machining, the lightweight design allows operators to quickly swap tools without sacrificing stability, which is especially valuable in prototype development and low‑volume production runs. The collet’s 5‑micron accuracy makes it suitable for delicate operations such as engraving, micro‑drilling, and fine‑detail carving where even the smallest deviation can affect the final product quality. Its compatibility with a wide range of spindle sizes means it can be employed on bench‑top machines, industrial‑grade CNC routers, and even portable drilling rigs. Whether you are fabricating aerospace components, automotive parts, or custom furniture, the collet provides the consistent clamping force needed to achieve repeatable results. Additionally, the alloy‑steel material tolerates the heat generated during high‑speed cutting, ensuring that performance does not degrade over extended use.
