Parlec DA300-3MM Double Angle Collet DA300 3mm

Product Description

The PARLEC DA300-3MM is a double angle collet designed for precision workholding in CNC machining and milling applications. This collet belongs to the DA300 series and features a 3mm (0.1181 inch) bore capacity with an overall diameter of 0.375 inches and an overall length of 1 inch. Double angle collets provide secure, concentric clamping of round, hex, and square stock, making them a standard choice for production machining environments where repeatability and grip reliability are critical. This collet is installed by machinists and CNC operators and is suited for both manual and automated tool-change setups.

The DA300-3MM is used in collet chucks and collet holders that accept the DA300 collet series, commonly found in vertical and horizontal machining centers, lathes, and milling machines across light manufacturing and precision machining shops. Its compact 1-inch overall length fits applications where toolholder clearance is a factor. This collet is appropriate for both production-volume runs and toolroom work where consistent part holding is required.

Key Features

• DA300 series double angle collet for secure, concentric workholding
• 3mm (0.1181 inch) bore capacity for small-diameter stock and tooling
• 0.375 inch overall diameter for compatibility with DA300 collet chucks
• 1 inch overall length for compact fitment in confined toolholder setups
• Lightweight at 0.5 pounds for easy handling and quick changeover

Compatibility

Designed as a DA300 series collet for use in collet chucks and toolholders that accept the DA300 collet style. Verify that the collet chuck or holder is rated for DA300 series collets before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the collet chuck is de-energized or unclamped before inserting or removing the collet. Clean the collet taper and chuck bore of chips and debris before seating to ensure proper runout and grip. Do not exceed the rated bore capacity, as oversizing a collet reduces clamping force and can damage the collet or chuck.
