Techniks 18851-15/64 Single Angle Collet Slimfit 6

Product Description

The TECHNIKS 18851-15/64 is a single angle collet in the SlimFIT 6 series, designed for precision toolholding in CNC machining and milling applications. With a 15/64 inch collet size, a maximum body diameter of 0.394 inches, and an overall length of 1.417 inches, this collet delivers a total indicator runout (TIR) of 0.0001 inches. That level of concentricity makes it a reliable choice for finish milling, drilling, and reaming operations where tool runout directly affects surface quality and tool life. It is installed by machinists and CNC setup technicians working with SlimFIT 6 compatible toolholders.

This collet is suited for use in machining centers requiring slim-profile toolholding to access tight workpiece features or avoid fixturing interference. The SlimFIT 6 series is built for applications where a reduced body diameter is necessary without sacrificing clamping rigidity. Typical install scenarios include production milling environments, job shops, and precision manufacturing cells running small-diameter end mills, drills, or reamers in the 15/64 inch range.

Key Features

• 0.0001 inch TIR for high-precision, low-runout toolholding
• 15/64 inch collet size accommodates matching shank tooling
• 0.394 inch maximum body diameter suits slim-clearance applications
• 1.417 inch overall length provides compact axial footprint
• Single angle collet design for secure, repeatable clamping

Compatibility

Designed for use with SlimFIT 6 series toolholders requiring a single angle collet interface. Specific holder compatibility should be verified against the SlimFIT 6 toolholder specifications prior to installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and the toolholder removed from the spindle before inserting or removing the collet. Use the appropriate collet nut wrench and clamping fixture recommended for the SlimFIT 6 system to achieve proper seating. Inspect the collet bore and toolholder taper for debris or wear before assembly to maintain rated TIR performance.
