Parlec DA180-0375 Double Angle Collet 3/8 in DA180

Product Description

The PARLEC DA180-0375 is a double angle collet in the DA180 series, designed for precision workholding in milling and drilling operations on CNC machining centers and manual mills. It accepts shank diameters from 0.3594 inches minimum to 0.3750 inches maximum, making it suited for 3/8 inch tooling. The collet measures 1.6390 inches overall length and 1.0250 inches overall diameter. Machinists and toolroom technicians install this collet into compatible DA180 collet chucks to secure cutting tools, taps, reamers, and similar round-shank tooling with consistent clamping force and concentricity.

This collet is used in production and job-shop environments where DA180-style collet chucks are in service. It is suited for light to medium material removal operations requiring reliable tool grip on 3/8 inch shank cutting tools. Typical applications include vertical machining centers, knee mills, and drill presses equipped with DA180 collet chuck systems. The double angle design provides a two-contact clamping surface that distributes gripping force evenly around the tool shank.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard tooling component for DA180 series collet chucks used in CNC and manual milling applications.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or qualified toolroom technician should install and torque collets according to the collet chuck manufacturer specifications. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before inserting or removing any collet. Inspect the collet bore and chuck taper for chips, nicks, or wear before seating the collet. Do not exceed the listed maximum collet capacity, as oversized tooling will prevent proper clamping and can cause tool pullout during operation.
