Parlec DA180-0500 Double Angle Collet 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The PARLEC DA180-0500 is a DA180 series double angle collet designed for precision workholding in CNC machining and milling operations. It accepts tool shanks up to 0.5000 inches in diameter and provides a secure, concentric grip on round stock and cutting tools. With an overall length of 1.6390 inches and an overall diameter of 1.0250 inches, this collet is built to close tolerances for accurate tool positioning. It is installed and serviced by machinists and CNC setup technicians in production and job-shop environments.

This collet is suited for use in DA180-compatible collet chucks found in CNC mills, machining centers, and manual milling machines. It handles a capacity range from 0.4844 inches minimum to 0.5000 inches maximum, making it appropriate for standard 1/2 inch shank end mills, drills, and other rotary cutting tools used in light-to-medium material removal applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup personnel. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before inserting or removing collets. Inspect the collet chuck bore and collet taper for chips, burrs, or wear before seating the collet. Do not exceed the rated capacity range, as oversized tooling will cause poor grip and potential tool pullout.
