Parlec DA180-12MM Double Angle Collet 12mm DA180

Product Description

The PARLEC DA180-12MM is a double angle collet designed for use in DA180 collet chucks on CNC machining centers, mills, and other rotary toolholding systems. It accepts a 12mm (0.4724 inch) round shank tool and provides secure, concentric clamping during cutting operations. The collet measures 1.639 inches overall length with a 1.025 inch overall diameter, making it a compact, precision toolholding component. Licensed machinists, CNC setup technicians, and toolroom specialists typically source and install these collets as part of routine tooling changes or machine setups.

The DA180-12MM collet is suited for production machining environments where consistent tool runout and reliable gripping force are required. It fits into DA180-style collet chucks used on vertical and horizontal machining centers across light to medium-duty cutting applications. The 12mm bore size is a common metric shank size used with end mills, drills, reamers, and similar tooling in both job shop and production floor settings.

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or supplemental collet for DA180 series collet chuck systems accepting 12mm bore collets.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal should be performed with the spindle fully powered down and the machine in a safe, locked-out state per applicable shop safety procedures. Use the appropriate collet wrench or spanner for the DA180 chuck body - do not use improvised tools that may damage the collet taper or chuck seat. Inspect the collet bore and taper for chips or debris before seating; contamination directly affects runout and tool retention. Torque the collet nut to the chuck manufacturer's specification using a calibrated torque wrench.
