Techniks 18851-03 Single Angle Collet Slimfit 6 3mm

Product Description

The TECHNIKS 18851-03 is a single angle collet in the SlimFIT 6 series, designed for precision tool holding in CNC machining centers and milling applications. It accepts a 3.00 mm collet size and delivers a total indicator runout (TIR) of 0.0001 inches, making it suitable for close-tolerance work where concentricity directly affects surface finish and tool life. The overall length is 1.417 inches with a maximum body diameter of 0.394 inches. This collet is installed by machinists and CNC toolroom technicians working in production or job-shop environments where consistent tool runout control is a priority.

The TECHNIKS 18851-03 fits standard SlimFIT 6 collet chucks used in vertical and horizontal machining centers. The slim-profile body diameter is well suited for work requiring access to confined features or deep cavities where larger collet systems would cause interference. It is appropriate for both production runs and precision prototype work in ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Key Features

• 0.0001 inch TIR for high-precision concentricity in close-tolerance machining operations
• 3.00 mm collet size accommodates metric tooling in imperial or metric machine setups
• 0.394 inch maximum body diameter supports access to tight workpiece features
• 1.417 inch overall length fits standard SlimFIT 6 chuck configurations
• Single angle collet design provides consistent clamping force and reliable tool seating

Compatibility

Designed for use with SlimFIT 6 series collet chucks. Verify chuck series compatibility before installation, as single angle collets are not interchangeable across different collet system families.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC toolroom technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is locked out before handling the collet chuck or changing collets. Clean the collet bore and chuck taper thoroughly before seating to prevent runout caused by debris. Torque the collet nut according to the chuck manufacturer specifications only.
