Parlec DA180-0125 Double Angle Collet DA180 1/8 Inch

Product Description

The PARLEC DA180-0125 is a double angle collet designed for use in DA180-series collet chucks on CNC machining centers, milling machines, and high-speed spindle applications. It accepts tooling with a shank diameter of 0.1250 inches and provides a minimum collet capacity of 0.1094 inches, making it suitable for small-diameter end mills, drills, and round-shank cutting tools. The overall length measures 1.639 inches with an overall diameter of 1.025 inches. Machinists and CNC setup technicians rely on DA-style collets for their dual-angle clamping geometry, which delivers consistent tool concentricity and gripping force across repeated tool changes.

This collet is intended for use in production machining environments where repeatable tool holding is critical. It fits DA180-series collet chucks and is sized for 1/8 inch shank tooling commonly found in light milling, engraving, and small-diameter drilling operations. Typical installations are found in job shops, toolrooms, and automated CNC cells handling aluminum, steel, and non-ferrous materials. The DA180-0125 is sold individually and is a direct fit for any compatible DA180 chuck body already in service.

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit collet for DA180-series collet chuck bodies requiring 1/8 inch shank tool holding.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. Always power down and lock out the spindle before inserting or removing collets. Ensure the collet bore and chuck body are clean and free of chips or coolant residue before seating the collet. Use the appropriate collet nut torque wrench for the chuck series to avoid over-tightening, which can distort the collet body.
