Parlec DA300-0156 Double Angle Collet DA300 5/32 Inch

Product Description

The PARLEC DA300-0156 is a Double Angle collet in the DA300 series, designed for use in DA-style collet chucks on CNC machining centers, mills, and other rotating spindle equipment. It accepts tool shanks with a minimum capacity of 0.1406 decimal inches and a maximum capacity of 0.1562 decimal inches, making it suited for 5/32 inch round shanks. The overall length is 1 inch and the overall diameter is 0.375 inches. This collet is installed by machinists and toolroom technicians requiring precise, repeatable tool holding in production or prototype environments.

The DA300-0156 is used in applications where DA300-series collet chucks are specified. Typical install scenarios include light to medium milling, drilling, and reaming operations on vertical or horizontal machining centers. The 5/32 inch capacity suits small-diameter end mills, drills, and similar cutting tools commonly encountered in precision machining work. This collet is appropriate for both shop floor production and toolroom use.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom personnel. The spindle must be fully stopped and the machine powered down before removing or installing collets. Collet bores and chuck tapers should be clean and free of chips or debris before seating the collet. Follow the machine tool manufacturer torque guidelines for the collet nut, as overtightening can damage both the collet and the chuck body.
