Centaur Rdf - 028 Series 38 Af Collet 5/32-11/64 in

Product Description

The CENTAUR RDF - 028 is a Series 38 AF collet designed to hold tooling with shank diameters ranging from 5/32 inch to 11/64 inch (0.1719 inches maximum). The collet measures 0.56 inches in overall diameter and 1.03 inches in overall length. It is used in precision machining applications where consistent tool grip and accurate concentricity are required. Machinists and tooling technicians install this collet into compatible collet chucks or holders to secure cutting tools, drills, or other round-shank workholding applications on milling machines, lathes, or similar machine tools.

This collet fits Series 38 AF collet chuck systems and is suited for light to medium machining operations in job shops, production facilities, and tool rooms. The 5/32 to 11/64 inch capacity range makes it appropriate for small-diameter tooling commonly used in precision drilling, light milling, and engraving setups. Machinists working with close-tolerance tooling will find this collet useful where a secure, repeatable tool hold is needed in the correct size range.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Always power down and lock out the machine before inserting or removing a collet. Use the appropriate collet wrench or spanner for the chuck system to seat and tighten the collet properly. Inspect the collet bore and chuck taper for chips or debris before assembly to ensure accurate tool runout.
