Parlec DA100-0078 Double Angle Collet DA100 5/64 in

Product Description

The PARLEC DA100-0078 is a double angle collet designed for use in DA100-series collet chucks on milling machines, machining centers, and CNC equipment. It accepts tooling from 0.0625 to 0.0781 inches in diameter, making it suited for small-diameter end mills, drills, and similar cutting tools. The collet measures 1.437 inches in overall length and 0.769 inches in overall diameter. Machinists and toolroom technicians install this collet as part of a precision workholding setup where accurate tool runout and secure clamping are required for light to moderate cutting operations.

This collet is used in production machining environments, job shops, and toolrooms where DA100-series collet chucks are already in service. It is appropriate for both manual and CNC milling applications requiring small-bore tool holding. The 5/64 inch nominal size targets fine tooling applications such as engraving, micro-milling, or small-diameter drilling operations performed on vertical or horizontal machining centers.

Key Features

• DA100 collet series for direct compatibility with DA100-style collet chucks
• Clamping range of 0.0625 to 0.0781 inches accommodates standard 5/64 inch shank tooling
• Overall length of 1.437 inches provides proper tool projection in DA100 chucks
• Overall diameter of 0.769 inches fits standard DA100 chuck bore specifications
• Double angle design provides even clamping force distribution along the tool shank

Compatibility

Designed for use with DA100-series collet chucks. Verify chuck series and bore specifications before installation to confirm fitment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before inserting or removing collets. Use the appropriate torque wrench and DA100 chuck nut spanner to seat the collet and secure the retaining nut - do not use pipe wrenches or improvised tools on precision collet components. Inspect the collet bore and chuck taper for chips or damage before assembly.
