Parlec ER32-0281 ER32 Collet 0.281 Inch

Product Description

The PARLEC ER32-0281 is an ER32 series collet designed for use in CNC machining centers, milling machines, and toolholding systems that accept the ER32 collet standard. With a collet size of 0.281 inches and a minimum collet capacity of 0.242 inches, this collet provides a clamping range suited to close-tolerance tool holding. The overall length is 1.574 inches. Machinists and tool crib technicians working in production and job shop environments install this collet into compatible ER32 chucks or collet holders to secure end mills, drills, reamers, and similar round-shank cutting tools during machining operations.

This collet is suited for general-purpose metal cutting, woodworking, and composite machining applications where ER32 toolholding is the specified standard. It fits production shops, maintenance machining setups, and training environments alike. The 0.281-inch capacity accommodates tooling with shank diameters at or just below that dimension, down to the minimum capacity of 0.242 inches, giving the operator a usable clamping range within a single collet.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tool crib technicians. Before inserting or removing collets, confirm the machine spindle is fully stopped and the control is in an safe state. Seat the collet into the ER32 chuck nut before threading onto the holder body, then tighten with an appropriate ER collet wrench to the chuck manufacturer's specified procedure. Inspect the collet bore and seating surfaces for chips or damage before each use to maintain runout accuracy.
