Parlec DA180-9MM Double Angle Collet 9mm 0.3543 Inch

Product Description

The PARLEC DA180-9MM is a double angle collet in the DA180 collet series, designed for use in CNC machining centers, milling machines, and other rotating spindle applications that require secure, concentric workholding. With a bore size of 9mm (0.3543 inches), an overall diameter of 1.025 inches, and an overall length of 1.639 inches, this collet provides rigid clamping for drill bits, end mills, and round-shank tooling. The double angle design distributes clamping force evenly across the tool shank, supporting accurate, repeatable cuts in production and job-shop environments alike.

This collet is suited for machining operations in both light and heavy-duty production settings. It fits DA180-series collet chucks and is appropriate for shops running precision boring, milling, drilling, or tapping operations where consistent tool runout control is critical. Machine operators and toolroom technicians working on vertical or horizontal machining centers are the primary users. The 9mm capacity accommodates metric tooling commonly found in modern cutting tool inventories.

Key Features

• DA180 collet series for compatibility with DA180-series collet chucks
• 9mm (0.3543 inch) bore accommodates standard metric round-shank tooling
• Overall length of 1.639 inches (41.63mm) for consistent tool projection
• Overall diameter of 1.025 inches provides stable seating in the chuck body
• Double angle geometry distributes clamping force evenly for low runout
• Lightweight at 0.5 pounds, minimizing added spindle load

Compatibility

Designed for use with DA180-series collet chucks. Accepts round-shank tooling with a 9mm (0.3543 inch) shank diameter. Verify chuck series compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician with the spindle fully stopped and the machine in a locked-out, tagged-out state. Clean the collet bore and chuck taper thoroughly before seating to prevent runout caused by chips or debris. Torque the collet nut according to the chuck manufacturer's specifications, which are not provided here. Inspect the collet for wear or surface damage before each use, as a damaged collet can compromise tool retention and machining accuracy.
