Parlec DA300-0062 Double Angle Collet DA300 1/16 in

Product Description

The PARLEC DA300-0062 is a Double Angle (DA) collet in the DA300 series, designed to hold cutting tools and workpieces in CNC machining centers, milling machines, and high-speed routing applications. It accepts tool shanks from 0.0469 inches minimum to 0.0625 inches maximum capacity, making it suited for small-diameter end mills, drills, and similar tooling. The collet measures 1.0000 inch overall length with an overall diameter of 0.3750 inches. Machinists and tool crib personnel working in production or job-shop environments install and manage these collets as standard tooling components.

The DA300-0062 is used in machining setups that require precise, repeatable tool holding for small-diameter cutting tools. It is appropriate for both light and moderate-duty cutting operations on metal, plastic, and composite materials. The DA300 collet series is a widely adopted standard in CNC milling and routing, and this 1/16-inch size fills the lower end of the capacity range within that series. Typical installation occurs at a tool crib or directly at the machine during a tool change procedure.

Key Features

• Nominal 1/16-inch (0.0625 inch) capacity suits small-diameter tooling applications
• Collet capacity range: 0.0469 inches minimum to 0.0625 inches maximum
• 1.0000-inch overall length for consistent projection and gauge length control
• 0.3750-inch overall diameter for proper seating in DA300-compatible collet chucks
• Single-piece quantity packaging suitable for individual replacement or tooling builds

Compatibility

Designed for use with DA300-series collet chucks and tool holders that accept the DA300 collet standard. Verify chuck compatibility by confirming the DA300 collet series designation on your tool holder before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or tooling technician. Before changing collets, power down the spindle and confirm it has come to a full stop. Use the appropriate collet wrench and chuck wrench for the DA300 tool holder - never use pipe wrenches or improvised tools that can damage the collet taper or chuck bore. Inspect the collet taper and the chuck bore for chips or wear before seating the collet, as contamination will affect runout and tool life.
