Parlec DA180-2.5MM Double Angle Collet DA180 2.5mm

Product Description

The PARLEC DA180-2.5MM is a double angle collet designed for use in DA180-series collet chucks on CNC machining centers, milling machines, and other rotating spindle equipment. With a 2.5 mm (0.0984 inch) bore diameter and an overall length of 1.639 inches, this collet grips small-diameter tooling with consistent radial force distributed across the double angle contact surface. The 1.025-inch overall diameter fits standard DA180 chuck bodies. Machinists and toolroom technicians install this collet when setting up end mills, drills, or reamers at tight tolerances for precision metal-cutting operations.

This collet is suited for production and job-shop environments where the DA180 collet system is already in use. It handles small tooling in the 2.5 mm range, making it appropriate for light to medium milling and drilling operations in steel, aluminum, and similar materials. The double angle design provides improved gripping force and runout control compared to single angle alternatives, which matters in high-RPM finish passes and close-tolerance boring work.

Key Features

• 2.5 mm (0.0984 inch) bore accepts small-diameter cutting tools and round shanks
• Double angle collet geometry distributes clamping force evenly for reduced runout
• 1.639-inch overall length fits standard DA180 chuck depth requirements
• 1.025-inch overall diameter matches DA180 series chuck bodies
• Compact form factor suitable for high-RPM spindle applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or additional collet for DA180-series collet chuck systems used in CNC and manual milling machine spindle toolholding applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machining technicians during toolholding setup. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before installing or removing collets. Inspect the collet bore, taper surface, and mating chuck body for chips, burrs, or wear before seating. Do not exceed the rated RPM or clamping torque specified by the chuck manufacturer for the DA180 system.
