Bison 7-168-094 5C Round Collet 49/64 Inch

Product Description

The BISON 7-168-094 is a 5C round collet sized at 49/64 inch, designed for use in lathes and other spindle-driven machine tool setups that accept the 5C collet standard. This collet grips round workpieces with consistent radial force, holding stock securely during turning, milling, or grinding operations. It is a direct workholding component installed by machinists and toolroom technicians in production and job-shop environments. The 49/64-inch bore accommodates round bar stock at that specific diameter, making it a precise fit for that size range.

This collet is suited for use in any 5C-compatible collet chuck, collet closer, or indexing fixture found in both manual and CNC lathe setups. It is a common workholding choice in residential machine shops, industrial toolrooms, and production facilities where consistent and repeatable stock clamping is required for round material at 49/64 inch.

Key Features

• 5C collet standard for broad compatibility with 5C-type spindles, chucks, and closers
• 49/64 inch round bore for accurate gripping of round bar stock at that diameter
• Designed for turning, milling, and grinding applications requiring secure workholding
• Precision-ground construction typical of 5C collet tooling for consistent runout control

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5C-pattern round collet for use in any lathe, milling machine, or fixture that accepts the 5C collet system.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Before inserting or removing a collet, ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and all power is off. Use the appropriate collet closer or draw bar mechanism for the host machine - never force the collet into the spindle by striking it. Inspect the collet bore and spindle taper for debris or damage before each use to maintain clamping accuracy and prevent workpiece slippage.
