Value Collection 230-4134 5C Round Steel Collet 17/32 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 230-4134 is a 5C round steel collet designed for use in 5C-compatible spindles and collet chucks on lathes, grinders, and milling machines. Machined from steel, this collet holds round workpieces with a 17/32 inch bore diameter and delivers a total indicator runout (TIR) of 0.0005 inches, making it suitable for precision turning and grinding applications. The internal thread measures 1.041-24 and the external thread measures 1.242-20, conforming to standard 5C collet geometry. Machinists and toolroom technicians install and replace these collets as part of routine workholding setups.

This collet is intended for use in machine shop environments where 5C spindle tooling is standard. It is appropriate for both production and toolroom settings handling round bar stock or cylindrical workpieces at the 17/32 inch diameter. Typical applications include OD turning, light milling, and precision grinding where consistent runout control is required. It fits standard 5C collet closers and indexing fixtures used in general machining operations.

Key Features

• 17/32 inch bore diameter for round workpiece holding
• 0.0005 inch TIR for precision runout control
• 1.041-24 internal thread conforms to 5C collet standard
• 1.242-20 external thread for standard 5C closer engagement
• Steel construction for durability in production and toolroom use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5C-style round collet replacement compatible with 5C spindles, collet chucks, collet closers, and indexing fixtures that accept the 5C collet standard.

Installation Notes

5C collets are installed and replaced by machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and de-energize the machine spindle completely before removing or installing any collet. Inspect the collet closer and spindle bore for chips or debris before seating the collet to protect both the collet and the spindle taper. Do not exceed the collet bore rating when clamping workpieces, as overloading can damage the collet slots and reduce holding accuracy.
