Parlec DA400-0500 Double Angle Collet 1/2 Inch DA400

Product Description

The PARLEC DA400-0500 is a double angle collet in the DA400 series, designed for use in milling chucks and toolholding systems that accept DA400-style collets. It provides a 1/2 inch bore capacity for gripping round-shank cutting tools such as end mills, drills, and reamers. With an overall length of 2 inches and an overall diameter of 1.455 inches, this collet delivers consistent radial grip force across the clamping range. It is installed by machinists and toolroom technicians in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines where precise tool runout control is required.

This collet is suited for production and job-shop environments where DA400 series toolholding systems are in use. It accommodates 1/2 inch shank tooling and is appropriate for both light finishing passes and moderate material-removal operations. The double angle design distributes clamping load across two contact zones, supporting stable tool retention during cutting.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch bore accepts standard round-shank cutting tools
• Double angle collet body distributes clamping force across two contact surfaces
• Overall length of 2 inches suits standard DA400 chuck reach requirements
• Overall diameter of 1.455 inches for proper fit in DA400 series chucks
• Single-piece collet construction for repeatable seating

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit collet for toolholding systems that accept DA400 series double angle collets.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. The machine spindle must be powered down and locked out before changing tooling. Collet and chuck mating surfaces should be clean and free of chips or coolant residue before seating the collet. Do not exceed the toolholder manufacturer's recommended torque specification when tightening the retention nut.
