Starrett 50600 Pin Vise 0.0620 in Capacity Collet Jaw

Product Description

The STARRETT 50600 is a precision pin vise designed to hold small-diameter pins, drills, reamers, and wire for hand-turning, layout, or light drilling work. It accepts stock up to 0.0620 inches (1.6 mm) in diameter through a special tapered collet jaw that delivers maximum clamping surface across the full grip range. The overall body measures 3.547 inches in length with an outer diameter of 0.344 inches, keeping the tool compact and easy to handle for fine detail work. Machinists, toolmakers, and precision tradespeople rely on this vise for controlled, damage-free workholding on delicate workpieces.

The 50600 is suited for bench work in machine shops, tool rooms, and precision fabrication environments. Its collet-style jaw accommodates round stock at minimum capacity starting at 0.03 inches, making it practical for securing wire, small-diameter drills, scribers, and similar slender stock. The compact overall length and narrow diameter allow use in tight spaces where a standard chuck or drill press is impractical. This tool is typically used by machinists, toolmakers, and technicians performing layout or fine hand-drilling operations.

Installation Notes

No power tools or mechanical installation is required for this hand tool. Before use, ensure the collet is fully released before inserting workpiece stock to avoid jaw damage. Tighten the collet body by hand only — do not use pliers or wrenches on the collet sleeve, as over-tightening can deform the tapered collet. Keep the collet threads clean and lightly lubricated for smooth operation.
