Bison 7-168-084 5C Collet 11/16 Inch Round

Product Description

The BISON 7-168-084 is a 5C round collet sized to hold 11/16 inch round stock. 5C collets are a widely used workholding standard in machining operations, providing accurate, repeatable clamping for turned parts, bar stock, and second-operation work. This collet fits any 5C-compatible spindle, lathe, or collet fixture. Machinists and toolroom professionals use 5C collets when close concentricity and quick changeovers are priorities on the shop floor.

This collet is suited for use in manual lathes, CNC turning centers, and indexing fixtures that accept the 5C collet form. It is appropriate for production turning, grinding setups, and secondary machining operations where 11/16 inch round stock or finished round workpieces need secure, low-runout clamping. It is typically selected by machinists and toolroom technicians working in job shop, production, or maintenance machining environments.

Key Features

• 5C collet form fits standard 5C-compatible spindles and fixtures
• Sized for 11/16 inch round stock or workpieces
• Designed for repeatable, concentric workholding in turning and grinding applications
• Quick-change capability supports efficient production changeovers

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use collet for any machine spindle, lathe chuck body, or collet fixture built to the 5C collet standard.

Installation Notes

5C collets are installed and removed by toolroom machinists or machine operators. Before inserting or removing a collet, ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the draw tube or closer mechanism is fully released. Inspect the collet bore and spindle taper for chips or burrs before seating the collet. Do not exceed the collet capacity with oversized stock, as this can damage both the collet and the spindle nose.
