Parlec DA100-0281 Double Angle Collet DA100 9/32 Inch

Product Description

The PARLEC DA100-0281 is a double angle collet in the DA100 series, designed for precision workholding in CNC machining and milling operations. It accepts tool shanks with a nominal size of 9/32 inch (0.2813 inches), with a minimum collet capacity of 0.2656 inches and a maximum of 0.2812 inches. The overall length is 1.437 inches and the overall diameter is 0.769 inches. Machinists and toolroom technicians rely on DA-style collets for their dual-angle grip geometry, which distributes clamping force evenly around the tool shank to reduce runout and improve concentricity during cutting operations.

This collet is suited for use in DA100-compatible collet chucks found on vertical and horizontal machining centers, CNC mills, and manual milling machines. It is a standard toolholding component installed when changing or setting up cutting tools such as end mills, drills, and reamers with a 9/32 inch shank diameter. The DA100 series fits collet chucks designated for that series and is a common toolholding solution in both production and job-shop environments.

Key Features

• Nominal collet size of 9/32 inch with a capacity range of 0.2656 to 0.2812 inches
• Overall length of 1.437 inches and overall diameter of 0.769 inches
• DA100 series designation for direct compatibility with DA100 collet chucks
• Compact form factor suited for close-clearance machining setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard toolholding collet for DA100 series collet chucks used in CNC and manual milling machine applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before changing collets. Clean the collet chuck bore and the collet taper surfaces before seating the collet to ensure proper contact and minimize runout. Do not overtighten the collet nut, as this can damage the collet taper or reduce clamping accuracy.
