Parlec DA180-5.5MM Double Angle Collet 5.5mm

Product Description

The PARLEC DA180-5.5MM is a double angle collet designed for precision workholding in CNC machining centers and milling applications. Built to the DA180 collet series standard, this collet accepts a 5.5mm (0.2165 inch) bore and delivers consistent clamping force across the tool shank. With an overall length of 1.639 inches and an overall diameter of 1.025 inches, it fits standard DA180-compatible toolholders. Machinists and tool crib technicians rely on this style of collet for repeatable tool runout and secure grip during high-speed cutting operations.

The DA180-5.5MM is suited for use in production machining environments where DA180 series collet chucks are already in service. Typical applications include end mill holding, drill chucking, and reamer holding in both vertical and horizontal machining centers. This collet is appropriate for light to moderate material removal operations requiring a secure, concentric tool grip.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tool room technicians. Power down and lock out the spindle before changing collets. Use the appropriate collet nut wrench and chuck wrench for the DA180 toolholder - do not use pipe wrenches or improvised tools that can damage the collet taper or nut. Inspect the collet bore and taper surfaces for chips or burrs before seating.
