Parlec DA180-6MM Double Angle Collet DA180 6mm

Product Description

The PARLEC DA180-6MM is a double angle collet built for use in DA180 series collet chucks on CNC milling machines, machining centers, and other rotating spindle equipment. Designed to grip 6mm (0.2362 inches) round shanks, this collet features an overall length of 1.639 inches and an overall diameter of 1.025 inches. The double angle collet design provides a secure, concentric grip on cutting tools such as end mills, drills, and reamers. Machinists and toolroom technicians install and change these collets as part of routine tool setup and changeover operations on production and job-shop machine tools.

This collet is sized for the DA180 collet system, which is commonly used in light-duty to medium-duty milling and drilling applications on vertical and horizontal machining centers. It accepts 6mm tooling, making it well suited for metric cutting tool inventory in shops that run metric-standard end mills, drills, and similar round-shank tooling. The DA180 series is a widely adopted double angle collet standard across CNC and manual machine tool platforms.

Key Features

• DA180 collet series for compatibility with DA180-standard collet chucks
• 6mm (0.2362 inches) bore for metric round-shank cutting tools
• Overall length of 1.639 inches (41.63mm) for standard DA180 chuck depth
• Overall diameter of 1.025 inches for proper seating in DA180 collet chuck body
• Double angle geometry provides secure, concentric tool grip under cutting loads

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement collet for DA180 series collet chuck systems accepting 6mm round-shank tooling.

Installation Notes

DA180 collets are installed and removed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians using the appropriate collet chuck wrench and draw bar or nut for the specific chuck body. Always power down and lock out the spindle before changing collets. Inspect the collet bore and chuck taper for chips, burrs, or wear before seating the collet. Do not exceed the tool shank diameter specified for this collet, as oversize tooling will damage the collet and reduce grip accuracy.
