Jacobs 9747 Tap Collet 0.32 Inches Rubber

Product Description

The JACOBS 9747 is a rubber tap collet designed to securely hold taps during threading operations in drill presses, tapping heads, and CNC machines. With a collet size of 0.32 inches (8.13 mm) and a minimum collet capacity of 0.176 inches (4.47 mm), this collet provides a firm, centered grip on straight-shank taps. The rubber construction absorbs minor misalignment and reduces tap breakage in repetitive tapping cycles. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance mechanics install this collet in compatible tapping attachments for production and repair threading work.

This tap collet is suited for use in light-duty to medium-duty tapping operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It fits tapping heads and collet chucks that accept 0.32-inch collets. Typical applications include threading operations on machined parts, fabricated components, and general maintenance work where consistent tap alignment is required. The collet is sold individually, making it a direct replacement or spare for worn or damaged collets in an existing setup.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician. Ensure the tapping head or spindle is fully de-energized and brought to a complete stop before removing or installing any collet. Inspect the collet bore and mating chuck body for debris or damage before seating the collet. Follow the tapping attachment manufacturer's torque and retention guidelines when securing the collet in place.
