Parlec DA180-18MM Double Angle Collet 18mm DA180

Product Description

The PARLEC DA180-18MM is a double angle collet designed for use in DA180 series collet chucks on CNC machining centers, milling machines, and similar rotating toolholding applications. With an 18mm (0.7087 inch) clamping capacity and an overall length of 1.639 inches, this collet delivers consistent, concentric tool grip for end mills, drills, and other round-shank cutting tools. The 1.025 inch overall diameter is dimensionally matched to DA180 toolholding systems. Licensed machinists and CNC setup technicians are the primary installers of this component.

This collet is suited for production and job-shop environments running DA180 collet chucks. It accommodates an 18mm shank diameter and is appropriate for high-speed rotating applications where repeatable tool runout and secure clamping are required. Typical installations occur in vertical and horizontal machining centers as well as manual knee mills equipped with DA180-compatible toolholding systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before removing or installing any collet. Clean the collet bore and chuck taper thoroughly before seating to prevent runout caused by chips or debris. Follow the machine manufacturer and toolholder manufacturer torque guidelines when tightening the collet nut.
