Parlec DA180-0578 Double Angle Collet DA180 37/64 in

Product Description

The PARLEC DA180-0578 is a Double Angle collet in the DA180 series, designed for use in DA-style collet chucks on CNC machining centers, mills, and drilling applications. It accepts tool shanks from 0.5625 inches up to 0.5781 inches in diameter, with an overall length of 1.639 inches and an overall diameter of 1.025 inches. This collet provides secure gripping through its double-angle contact geometry, which distributes clamping force evenly for improved tool concentricity and reduced runout. Installation and removal are handled by machinists and toolroom technicians as part of standard workholding setup.

This collet is suited for production machining environments where consistent tool holding at the 37/64 inch nominal size is required. Typical applications include end mill holding, drill holding, and reamer holding on vertical or horizontal machining centers equipped with DA180-compatible collet chucks. It is appropriate for both roughing and finishing operations where stable tool grip is critical to achieving part tolerances.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom personnel. Before changing collets, power down the machine spindle completely and confirm the spindle has stopped rotating. Use the appropriate collet nut wrench and chuck spanner for the DA180 system to seat and torque the collet nut properly. Inspect the collet bore and chuck taper for debris or damage before assembly to ensure accurate tool runout.
