Parlec DA100-0312 Double Angle Collet 5/16 Inch DA100

Product Description

The PARLEC DA100-0312 is a Double Angle Collet in the DA100 series, designed for precision workholding in CNC milling and machining centers. It accepts tool shanks up to 0.3125 inches in diameter with a minimum capacity of 0.2969 inches, making it suitable for 5/16-inch tooling. The collet measures 1.437 inches in overall length and 0.769 inches in overall diameter. Machinists and tool-crib technicians rely on DA100-series collets for their consistent clamping force and dimensional accuracy in high-speed cutting applications.

This collet is used in machining environments where DA100-compatible collet chucks are installed. Typical applications include milling, drilling, and reaming operations in both production and job-shop settings. It is suited for use with end mills, drills, and other round-shank cutting tools within the stated capacity range. The DA100 series is a widely adopted standard in professional machine shops running vertical and horizontal machining centers.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing collets. Clean the collet and chuck bore thoroughly to remove chips, coolant, and debris before seating the collet, as contamination directly affects runout and clamping performance. Follow the toolholder manufacturer torque guidelines for the collet nut.
