Value Collection 204-1606 ER16 Collet 0.094 Inch

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 204-1606 is an ER16 series collet designed for use in CNC machining centers, milling machines, and other rotating spindle equipment that accept the ER16 collet standard. The collet holds workpieces or cutting tools with a nominal grip diameter of 0.094 inches (3/32 inch) and delivers a total indicator runout (TIR) of 0.0005 inches, supporting precise, repeatable tool positioning in production and job-shop environments. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals rely on tight-TIR collets like this one to maintain dimensional accuracy across high-volume cutting operations.

This ER16 collet is suited for light-duty to medium-duty machining applications where a compact collet nut and short gage length are advantageous. Typical installations include benchtop CNC mills, drill-tap centers, and manual milling machines equipped with ER16-compatible spindle toolholders. The 3/32-inch nominal size accommodates a range of small-diameter end mills, drills, and round-shank tooling commonly used in precision part production and prototype work.

Key Features

• ER16 collet series — fits any ER16-standard collet chuck or toolholder
• 0.094 inch (3/32 inch) nominal grip diameter for small-diameter tooling
• 0.0005 inch TIR for accurate, low-runout tool holding
• Compact ER16 form factor suited for light machining and drill-tap applications
• Single-piece packaging — sold individually

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ER16-series collet for use with any ER16-compatible collet chuck or toolholder accepting a 0.094 inch (3/32 inch) bore diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist with the spindle powered down and the machine in a locked-out, tagged-out state per applicable safety procedures. Seat the collet fully into the collet nut before threading the assembly onto the spindle to prevent damage to the collet taper. Inspect the collet bore and mating chuck taper for chips or debris before each use, as contamination directly impacts runout. Replace collets that show visible wear, cracking, or TIR values outside acceptable limits for the operation.
