Parlec DA100-0468 Double Angle Collet DA100 15/32

Product Description

The PARLEC DA100-0468 is a Double Angle (DA) collet designed for use in DA100-series collet chucks on CNC machining centers, milling machines, and drill presses. It holds round-shank cutting tools and workholding tooling with a clamping range of 0.4531 to 0.4688 decimal inches, making it the correct selection for 15/32-inch shank tooling. The collet measures 1.437 inches in overall length and 0.769 inches in overall diameter. Machinists and toolroom technicians install DA collets when consistent tool runout and repeatable clamping force are required across production and job-shop applications.

This collet fits DA100 collet chucks used in horizontal and vertical machining centers as well as benchtop and floor-standing drill press setups. It is suited for general-purpose metal cutting operations including drilling, reaming, and light milling where a secure, concentric tool hold is needed. The DA100 series is a common production standard in job shops handling tooling with near-half-inch shanks.

Key Features

• Clamping range of 0.4531 to 0.4688 inches accommodates standard 15/32-inch shank tooling
• DA100 collet series - direct fit for DA100-compatible chuck bodies
• Overall length of 1.437 inches for consistent projection and gauge-line positioning
• Overall diameter of 0.769 inches matches DA100 chuck bore specifications
• Double angle design provides even clamping force distribution along the tool shank

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit collet for DA100-series collet chucks. Confirm chuck body series and bore specifications before installation to ensure proper seating and clamping performance.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully powered down and locked out before changing collets. Clean the chuck bore and collet taper surfaces before seating to prevent runout caused by chips or debris. Use the appropriate spanner wrench for the DA100 chuck nut - do not use pipe wrenches or improvised tools, as these can damage the nut and affect clamping torque.
