Parlec DA180-0156 Double Angle Collet DA180 5/32 in

Product Description

The PARLEC DA180-0156 is a double angle collet designed for use in DA180-series collet chucks found on CNC machining centers, milling machines, and drilling equipment. It accepts tool shanks from 0.1406 to 0.1562 inches in diameter, providing a secure, concentric grip on cutting tools during high-speed machining operations. With an overall length of 1.639 inches and an overall diameter of 1.025 inches, this collet is precision-manufactured to maintain accurate tool positioning and minimize runout. Machinists and CNC operators rely on DA-style collets for repeatable toolholding performance across production environments.

This collet is suited for light-to-medium material removal applications where precise tool diameter control is critical. The 5/32-inch nominal size makes it a common selection for small-diameter end mills, drill bits, and similar cutting tools used in both prototype and production machining. It is typically installed and removed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician working with compatible DA180 collet chucks.

Key Features

• Double angle collet design for secure, balanced tool grip in DA180-series chucks
• Collet capacity range: 0.1406 to 0.1562 inches for 5/32-inch nominal tooling
• Overall length of 1.639 inches for proper chuck engagement depth
• Overall diameter of 1.025 inches matches DA180 chuck bore geometry
• Supports small-diameter cutting tools including end mills and drill blanks

Compatibility

Designed for use with DA180-series collet chucks. Confirm chuck series and bore specifications before installation to ensure proper fit and clamping performance.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal should be performed by a qualified machinist using the appropriate collet nut and spanner wrench for the DA180 chuck system. Always power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling. Inspect the collet bore and chuck taper for chips, wear, or damage before seating the collet. Never exceed the collet capacity range, as doing so can damage the collet and compromise tool retention.
