Parlec DA180-0187 Double Angle Collet DA180 3/16 in

Product Description

The PARLEC DA180-0187 is a double angle collet in the DA180 series, designed for secure workholding and tool holding in milling, drilling, and tapping operations on CNC machining centers and manual machines. It accepts round shank tooling with a maximum collet capacity of 0.1875 inches and a minimum capacity of 0.1719 inches. The overall length is 1.639 inches and the overall diameter is 1.025 inches. Machinists and CNC operators install this collet as part of a DA180 collet chuck system where consistent gripping force and close runout tolerances are required for production work.

This collet is used in shops running light- to medium-duty machining operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The DA180 series is a common double angle collet standard found on a wide range of collet chucks used in both horizontal and vertical machining center setups. It is suited for production environments where quick tool changes and reliable clamping are priorities. Tooling engineers and setup machinists specify DA180 collets when working with 3/16 inch shank tooling such as end mills, drills, reamers, and taps.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. Before installing or removing a collet, ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state per shop lockout/tagout procedures. Insert the collet into the DA180 chuck body and thread on the clamping nut, tightening by hand before applying a collet wrench to final snug torque as specified by the chuck manufacturer. Inspect the collet seating surfaces and the chuck bore for chips or damage before each use to maintain runout accuracy.
