Parlec DA180-0078 Double Angle Collet DA180 5/64 in

Product Description

The PARLEC DA180-0078 is a double angle collet in the DA180 series, designed to grip and hold cutting tools or workpieces with precision during milling and drilling operations. It accepts tool shanks from 0.0625 inches minimum to 0.0781 inches maximum capacity, making it suited for small-diameter tooling applications. With an overall length of 1.639 inches and an overall diameter of 1.025 inches, this collet is machined to close tolerances to maintain concentricity and reduce runout. Machinists and CNC operators install this collet into a compatible DA180 collet chuck as part of a toolholding setup on machining centers and milling machines.

This collet is used in production machining environments where small-diameter end mills, drills, or round-shank tooling must be held securely at high RPM. The DA180 collet series is a common standard in CNC toolholding, and this 5/64-inch size addresses fine-detail work and small-bore applications. It is appropriate for both job-shop and production floor use wherever a DA180-style chuck is already in service.

• Suited for small-diameter tooling in milling and drilling applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with DA180-series collet chucks. Verify that the chuck in service is rated for the DA180 collet standard before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC setup technician. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before inserting or removing collets. Inspect the collet bore and chuck taper for chips, burrs, or contamination before seating the collet, as debris will affect runout and clamping force. Do not exceed the collet capacity range when selecting tooling - overstressing the collet can cause tool slippage or collet damage.
