Value Collection 230-4110 5C Steel Round Collet 5/32 Inch

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 230-4110 is a 5C round collet machined from steel, designed to hold round workpieces in 5C-compatible spindles, chucks, and collet closers. Sized at 5/32 inch, it delivers a total indicator runout (TIR) of 0.0005 inch, making it suitable for precision turning, grinding, and secondary operations where concentricity matters. The internal thread measures 1.041 inch-24 and the external thread measures 1.242 inch-20, conforming to the 5C collet standard. Machinists, toolroom technicians, and production lathe operators install this type of collet in daily workholding setups.

This collet is intended for use in machine shop environments running 5C collet systems on engine lathes, turret lathes, grinding machines, indexers, and rotary tables. The 5/32 inch bore size targets small-diameter round stock. It is a direct-fit workholding consumable for shops running high-volume or precision short-run parts where repeatable grip and low runout are required across shifts.

Key Features

• 5/32 inch bore for small-diameter round workpieces
• 0.0005 inch TIR for precision concentricity
• Internal thread size: 1.041 inch-24
• External thread size: 1.242 inch-20
• Steel construction for durability in production environments
• Conforms to standard 5C collet geometry for broad spindle compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5C round collet replacement or addition for any machine tool spindle, collet closer, fixture, or indexer built to accept the 5C collet standard.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Before inserting or removing a collet, the machine spindle must be fully stopped and the collet closer or draw tube must be backed off completely. Collet threads and the spindle nose taper should be inspected and cleaned before seating to avoid false runout readings. Do not exceed the rated bore size by forcing oversized stock into the collet, as this will permanently distort the collet leaves.
