Parlec ER32-0468 ER32 Collet 0.468 Inch

Product Description

The PARLEC ER32-0468 is an ER32-series collet designed for precision workholding in CNC machining centers, milling machines, and collet chuck tooling systems. With a collet size of 0.468 inches and a minimum collet capacity of 0.429 inches, this collet grips a range of round shank tooling including end mills, drills, and reamers. The overall length measures 1.574 inches. Machining professionals and tool crib technicians rely on ER-series collets for consistent runout performance and repeatable tool clamping in production and job-shop environments.

The ER32-0468 is suited for use in ER32-compatible collet chucks mounted on vertical and horizontal machining centers, CNC lathes with live tooling, and manual milling machines. It accepts tool shanks up to 0.468 inches in diameter and collapses down to 0.429 inches minimum capacity, giving it a usable clamping range across that span. This makes it a practical single-collet solution for tooling with shanks in the 0.429 to 0.468 inch range.

Key Features

• ER32 collet series for broad compatibility with ER32 chuck systems
• 0.468 inch maximum collet capacity with 0.429 inch minimum capacity
• 1.574 inch overall length for standard ER32 chuck seating depth
• Precision ground construction for consistent tool clamping and low runout
• Suitable for end mills, drills, reamers, and other round-shank tooling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling collet for ER32-compatible collet chucks and toolholding systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Before changing collets, ensure the spindle is fully stopped, the machine is in an e-stop or powered-down state, and the drawbar or chuck nut is fully released. Use the appropriate ER32 spanner wrench and torque to the chuck manufacturer's specification found in the toolholder documentation. Avoid over-tightening the collet nut without a tool seated, as this can damage the collet bore.
