Lyndex-nikken 510-SET-18 5C Round Collet Set 18 Pc

Product Description

The LYNDEX-NIKKEN 510-SET-18 is an 18-piece 5C round collet set designed for use in lathes, collet chucks, and collet closers that accept the industry-standard 5C collet system. The set covers a capacity range from 1/16 inch to 1-1/8 inches in 1/16-inch increments, giving machinists a complete selection for gripping round stock across a wide range of diameters. At 11.5 pounds, the set is substantial in construction. It is well-suited for production turning shops, tool rooms, and job shops where a single purchase covers the most common workpiece sizes without sourcing individual collets.

This collet set is intended for use in any machine tool configured for the 5C collet system, including engine lathes, CNC turning centers with 5C-compatible spindles, collet chucks mounted on manual or CNC equipment, and index fixtures. The 18 included sizes span 1/16, 1/8, 3/16, 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16, 5/8, 11/16, 3/4, 13/16, 7/8, 15/16, 1, 1-1/16, and 1-1/8 inches, covering the full incremental range without gaps. Installation and use is performed by machinists and CNC operators in metalworking environments.

Installation Notes

5C collets are installed and removed by machinists following standard machine tool lockout procedures - always disengage spindle drive and confirm the machine is fully powered down before changing collets. Collets should be inspected for chips, burrs, or damage before seating in the spindle nose or chuck body. Use the appropriate draw tube or collet closer mechanism rated for the machine; do not force or cross-thread collets during installation. Follow the machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety standards during setup.
