Parlec DA180-0265 Double Angle Collet DA180 17/64

Product Description

The PARLEC DA180-0265 is a double angle collet in the DA180 series, designed for use in CNC machining centers, milling machines, and drilling applications where a secure, concentric tool grip is essential. This collet accepts round shank tooling with a capacity range of 0.2500 to 0.2656 decimal inches, corresponding to a nominal 17/64 inch bore. The overall length is 1.639 inches and the overall diameter is 1.025 inches. Installation is performed by qualified machine tool operators and CNC setup technicians as part of standard toolholder assembly and changeover procedures.

This collet is suited for production and job-shop environments running drilling, reaming, or light milling operations where DA180-series toolholders are in use. The DA180 collet system is a double angle design, which provides clamping force distributed across two contact surfaces for improved grip and reduced runout compared to single angle alternatives. Typical applications include high-cycle production lines and precision part machining where tool repeatability directly affects part quality.

Compatibility

Designed for use with DA180-series double angle collet toolholders. Verify toolholder series and bore size before installation. No specific model compatibility beyond the DA180 collet series was provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machine tool operator or CNC setup technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before inserting or removing collets. Inspect the collet bore and toolholder taper for chips, burrs, or wear before assembly. Follow the toolholder manufacturer torque recommendations when tightening the collet nut to ensure proper clamping force and avoid collet damage.
