Value Collection 230-4069 5C Collet

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 230-4069 is a 5C collet designed for use in 5C-compatible spindles, lathes, collet chucks, and indexing fixtures. It provides workpiece clamping at a true indicator runout (TIR) of 0.0005 inches, making it suitable for precision turning, milling, and grinding operations. Machinists and toolroom technicians use this collet where close-tolerance workholding is required. The 5C collet format is one of the most widely used workholding standards in production and job-shop environments, and this piece fits that established system directly.

This collet is appropriate for use in both manual and CNC-equipped machine tools that accept the 5C collet format. Typical applications include holding round bar stock, hex stock, and square stock during turning and secondary operations. It is well-suited for production runs and precision one-off work where repeatable, concentric workholding is critical. Machinists working on lathes, grinding machines, and rotary indexing fixtures will find this a direct-fit workholding solution.

Key Features

• 0.0005 inches TIR for precise, concentric workholding
• 5C collet format compatible with the widely adopted 5C spindle standard
• Suitable for turning, milling, grinding, and indexing applications
• Single-piece packaging for individual toolroom or production use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5C-format collet for use in any machine tool, collet chuck, or indexing fixture built to accept the 5C collet system.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before inserting or removing the collet. Ensure the collet, closer, and spindle bore are clean and free of chips or debris before seating, as contamination directly affects runout. Do not exceed the collet's rated capacity, as overloading can cause permanent distortion of the collet bore.
