Lyndex-nikken 510-SET-35 5C Round Collet Set 35 Pc

Product Description

The LYNDEX-NIKKEN 510-SET-35 is a 35-piece 5C round collet set designed for use in 5C-compatible lathes, indexers, and collet chucks found in precision machining environments. The set covers a capacity range from 1/16 inch to 1-1/8 inches in 1/32-inch increments, giving machinists a continuous progression of collet sizes to grip a wide variety of round workpiece diameters without gaps. At 20 pounds, this is a substantial, shop-ready set suited for production turning, bar work, and fixturing operations. It is typically installed and managed by machinists and CNC lathe operators working in job shops or manufacturing facilities.

This collet set is used in horizontal lathes, rotary indexers, spin fixtures, and other toolholding equipment built around the 5C collet standard. The 1/32-inch size progression makes it practical for shops that run mixed workpiece diameters in both production and prototype runs. The 35 individual collet sizes included span from 1/16 through 1-1/8 inches, covering common fractional inch stock sizes used in general machining, second-operation work, and bar-fed turning applications.

• Set weight of 20 pounds reflects solid collet construction appropriate for precision workholding

Compatibility

Designed for use with 5C round collet-compatible spindles, collet chucks, rotary indexers, and clamping fixtures. All collets in this set conform to the 5C round collet standard.

Installation Notes

5C collets are installed and removed by machinists using the draw tube or closer mechanism of the host machine - always disengage the spindle and follow machine-specific lockout procedures before changing collets. Collets should be inspected for damage, chips, or debris before seating to avoid runout issues or workpiece slippage. Store collets in the provided set tray or a dedicated rack to prevent nicking of the collet nose and taper surfaces, which can compromise holding accuracy.
