Techniks 05608 ER32 Tap Collet 10.5 Mm M14

Product Description

The TECHNIKS 05608 is an ER32 tap collet designed to hold M14 hand taps in ER32-style toolholders. It accepts a collet bore of 10.5 mm and features an 8.0 mm square drive pocket that positively engages the tap shank, transmitting torque without slip. This collet is intended for rigid and floating tapping operations on machining centers, CNC lathes, and manual tapping fixtures. Tool and die makers, CNC machinists, and production shop technicians install this collet as part of an ER32 tapping chuck assembly. It does not include through-coolant capability and is not configured for tension-compression tap holders.

The 05608 is suited for hand tap applications in production and job-shop environments where M14 threads are cut in steel, cast iron, aluminum, or other machinable materials. The ER32 collet series is widely used in general-purpose machining due to its broad toolholder compatibility and consistent clamping force. This collet is sold individually and fits standard ER32 tapping chucks and collet nuts.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or tooling technician. Before changing collets, ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state. Seat the collet fully into the ER32 collet nut before threading onto the toolholder, and torque the collet nut using the appropriate ER collet wrench - do not use pipe wrenches or improvised tools. Inspect the collet bore and square drive pocket for chips or burrs before each use to maintain accurate tap alignment.
