Value Collection 230-4104 5C Round Collet 1/16 Inch

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 230-4104 is a 5C steel round collet sized for 1/16 inch workpiece capacity. It is designed for use in 5C collet chucks, collet blocks, and index fixtures found on lathes, milling machines, and grinding equipment. Machined from steel, the collet holds a total indicated runout (TIR) of 0.0005 inches, providing the precision required for accurate turning and grinding operations. The internal thread measures 1.041-24 and the external thread measures 1.242-20, conforming to standard 5C interface dimensions. This collet is installed and used by machinists and tool room technicians in production and job shop environments.

This collet is suited for manual and CNC lathes as well as milling fixtures that accept 5C tooling. It is a common choice for holding small-diameter round stock, pins, and bar stock during turning, facing, and cylindrical grinding operations. The 1/16 inch capacity makes it appropriate for fine work involving small-diameter parts requiring repeatable, accurate positioning.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or tool room personnel. Before inserting or removing a 5C collet, ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the collet closer or chuck is released. Inspect the collet bore and mating taper surfaces for chips or burrs before seating the collet. Do not exceed the rated workpiece diameter, as overloading the collet can damage the taper and reduce holding accuracy.
