Parlec DA180-0343 Double Angle Collet DA180 11/32 in

Product Description

The PARLEC DA180-0343 is a double angle collet in the DA180 series, designed to hold cutting tools and workpieces securely during milling, drilling, and tapping operations on CNC machining centers and manual mills. This collet accepts a nominal tool shank size of 11/32 inch, with a minimum collet capacity of 0.3281 decimal inch and a maximum capacity of 0.3438 decimal inch. The overall length is 1.639 inches and the overall diameter is 1.025 inches. Installed by machinists and tool room technicians, this collet provides repeatable tool runout control and is a standard component in high-production and job shop environments.

The DA180-0343 is suited for use in DA180-series collet chucks commonly found on vertical and horizontal machining centers in both light and heavy manufacturing settings. Typical applications include end mill holding, drill holding, and tap holding where a secure, concentric grip is required. This collet is appropriate for general-purpose production runs and precision tooling setups in metalworking and fabrication shops.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tool room personnel. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing collets. Clean the collet chuck bore and the collet taper surfaces before seating the collet to prevent runout caused by chips or debris. Do not exceed the stated collet capacity range, as oversizing the bore can damage both the collet and the chuck.
