Techniks 05350 ER16 Tap Collet 8 Mm Hand Tap

Product Description

The TECHNIKS 05350 is an ER16 tap collet designed to hold hand taps securely in ER16 collet chucks during tapping operations. With an 8 mm collet size and a 6.2 mm square drive dimension, this collet provides positive engagement on the tap shank, reducing slip and maintaining accurate thread alignment. It is a non-through-coolant, non-tension-compression design, suited for straightforward rigid tapping setups. Machinists and toolroom technicians install this collet in ER16 toolholders on CNC machining centers, knee mills, and manual drill presses.

This collet is appropriate for machine shops and production environments running hand tap sizes M8, M10, and M11. It fits standard ER16 collet chucks and is intended for rigid tapping applications where a tension-compression or floating tap holder is not required. Typical use cases include low-volume tapping of through holes and blind holes in ferrous and non-ferrous materials on vertical or horizontal machining centers.

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard ER16 collet chucks. Compatible with M8, M10, and M11 hand taps as stated in product specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and de-energize the machine spindle before changing collets. Insert the collet into the ER16 chuck nut before seating in the toolholder, then torque the chuck nut to the toolholder specification using an ER collet wrench. Verify tap shank engagement with the square drive before initiating a tapping cycle.
