Parlec DA180-3MM Double Angle Collet DA180 3mm

Product Description

The PARLEC DA180-3MM is a double angle collet designed for use in DA180-series collet chucks on CNC machining centers, mills, and drill presses. It accepts a 3mm (0.1181 inch) round shank tool, providing secure, concentric clamping during cutting, drilling, or reaming operations. The collet measures 1.639 inches overall length with a 1.025 inch overall diameter. Its double angle contact geometry distributes clamping force evenly across the tool shank, reducing runout and improving tool life. This collet is installed by machinists and toolroom technicians in production and job shop environments.

The DA180-3MM is suited for light to medium-duty machining applications where consistent tool holding accuracy is required. It fits any DA180-series collet chuck, making it a direct replacement or additional collet for shops already running DA180 tooling. Typical applications include drilling, end milling, and reaming with 3mm shank cutting tools on vertical or horizontal machining centers.

Key Features

• DA180 collet series with double angle contact geometry for even clamping force distribution
• 3mm (0.1181 inch) bore accommodates standard 3mm round shank tooling
• 1.639 inch overall length fits DA180-series chuck specifications
• 1.025 inch overall diameter for correct chuck seating
• Precision-ground construction for repeatable, low-runout tool holding

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or additional collet for DA180-series collet chucks used in CNC and manual machining applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the collet chuck and spindle are fully de-energized and the machine is in an e-stop or lockout/tagout state before changing collets. Clean the collet bore and chuck taper thoroughly before seating the collet to prevent fretting or premature wear. Tighten the collet nut to the chuck manufacturer's specified procedure using the correct spanner wrench - do not use pipe wrenches or improvised tools.
