It accepts collets ranging from 0.031 to 0.75 inches in capacity, covering a wide range of cutting tool shank diameters in a single chuck body. The chuck delivers a total indicator runout (TIR) of 0.0004 inches, supporting close-tolerance milling, drilling, and reaming operations. Through-spindle coolant is supported, directing fluid directly to the cutting edge for improved chip evacuation and tool life. Licensed machinists and CNC setup technicians are the primary installers of this toolholder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collet chuck is suited for production machining environments where DA180 series collets are the shop standard. The CAT50 taper shank seats in CAT50-compatible spindles commonly found on full-size vertical and horizontal machining centers. The 8.15 inches projection and 12.15 inches overall length make it appropriate for applications requiring reach into deep pockets or fixtures. Through-spindle coolant compatibility makes it a practical choice for high-speed cutting of ferrous and non-ferrous materials where coolant delivery at the tip is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDA180 double angle collet system with 0.031 to 0.75 inches clamping range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCAT50 taper shank for direct spindle mounting on compatible machining centers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.0004 inches TIR for high-precision tool holding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThrough-spindle coolant support directs fluid to the cutting zone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8.15 inches projection accommodates extended reach applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12.15 inches overall length with 1.44 inches nose diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with DA180 series double angle collets.

Power down and lock out the machining center spindle before mounting or removing the toolholder. Inspect the taper shank and spindle bore for chips, nicks, or contamination before seating; any debris will affect runout and retention. Verify coolant passages are clear and that through-coolant fittings are properly connected before resuming cutting operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollet System\u003c\/strong\u003e: Double Angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollet Series\u003c\/strong\u003e: DA180\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Taper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTaper Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: CAT50\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Collet Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.031 inches (1\/32 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Collet Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches (3\/4 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProjection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8.15 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12.15 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.44 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTIR\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0004 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThrough Coolant\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Through-Spindle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PARLEC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: C50-18DC8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARLEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52122345537842,"sku":"C50-18DC8","price":300.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/59fb9ac12bd329e3c187aeb45dc2b08d.jpg?v=1790085258","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parlec-c50-18dc8-collet-chuck-da180-cat50-taper-shank","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
