Parlec ER32-0406 ER32 Collet 0.406 Inch

Product Description

The PARLEC ER32-0406 is an ER32-series collet designed for use in CNC machining centers, milling machines, and similar spindle-driven equipment. It provides a maximum collet capacity of 0.406 inches and a minimum collet capacity of 0.3666 inches, giving it a clamping range suited to a variety of tool shank diameters within that window. Overall length is 1.574 inches. Machinists and toolroom technicians install these collets into compatible ER32 collet chucks to securely hold end mills, drills, reamers, and other round-shank cutting tools during machining operations.

The ER32-0406 is used in production and job-shop environments wherever ER32 toolholding systems are in service. Common applications include vertical and horizontal machining centers, manual and CNC milling machines, and tapping heads that accept the ER32 collet standard. This collet is appropriate for holding tool shanks at or near the 0.406-inch capacity in light to medium-duty cutting operations. It is a single-piece, single-quantity item suitable for direct replacement or toolcrib stocking.

Installation Notes

ER32 collets are installed by machining professionals using an ER32 collet nut and a compatible chuck body. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing collets. Inspect the collet bore and chuck taper for chips or damage before seating the collet. Do not exceed the stated clamping range, as under- or over-size shanks can cause runout or tool pullout during cutting.
