Parlec DA180-0250 Double Angle Collet 1/4 Inch

Product Description

The PARLEC DA180-0250 is a DA180 series double angle collet designed for precision workholding in CNC milling and routing applications. It accepts shank diameters from 0.2344 inches up to 0.2500 inches, making it suited for 1/4-inch tooling. With an overall length of 1.639 inches and an overall diameter of 1.025 inches, this collet is built for consistent, repeatable tool clamping in high-speed spindle environments. Machinists and tool-room technicians rely on double angle collets for their superior gripping force and concentricity compared to standard spring collets.

This collet is used in machining centers, routers, and milling machines that accept the DA180 collet system. It is appropriate for both production shops and tool rooms running 1/4-inch end mills, drill bits, or similarly shanked cutting tools. The DA180 series is a common collet standard found in a wide range of vertical and horizontal machining setups across light and medium-duty metal and composite cutting operations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Power down and lock out the spindle drive before inserting or removing the collet. Use the appropriate collet nut and chuck wrench specified for the DA180 system - do not overtighten by impact. Inspect the collet bore and chuck taper for chips or wear before seating the collet to ensure proper concentricity.
