Techniks 18851-5/32 Single Angle Collet Slimfit 6

Product Description

The TECHNIKS 18851-5/32 is a single angle collet in the SlimFIT 6 series, designed for high-precision tool holding in CNC machining centers and milling applications. It accepts a 5/32-inch tool shank and delivers a total indicator runout (TIR) of 0.0001 inches, making it suitable for close-tolerance work where tool concentricity directly affects surface finish and tool life. The collet body measures 0.394 inches in overall diameter with an overall length of 1.417 inches. Machinists and tool room technicians install this collet into compatible SlimFIT 6 toolholders as part of a precision workholding setup.

This collet is suited for light to medium milling, drilling, and reaming operations where a slim-profile toolholder body is required for clearance in tight workpiece geometries or multi-axis setups. The 5/32-inch bore size targets smaller end mills and cutting tools commonly used in die-and-mold, aerospace component, and precision part machining environments. Its compact body diameter allows access in confined spaces without sacrificing the runout performance that production and toolroom environments demand.

Key Features

• 0.0001-inch TIR for high-concentricity tool holding
• 5/32-inch bore accepts correspondingly sized shank tooling
• SlimFIT 6 series for reduced-profile clearance in tight setups
• 1.417-inch overall length suits standard toolholder stack heights
• 0.394-inch maximum body diameter for slim-nose access

Compatibility

Designed for use with TECHNIKS SlimFIT 6 series toolholders that accept single angle collets with a 0.394-inch body diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Before installing or changing collets, confirm the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out per shop lockout-tagout procedures. Seat the collet fully into the toolholder nut before threading onto the holder body to prevent cross-threading or collet damage. Inspect the collet bore and seating surfaces for chips or debris before assembly, as contamination will directly degrade runout performance.
