Value Collection 230-4226 5C Round Collet 26mm

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 230-4226 is a 5C round collet machined from steel for use in 5C-compatible spindles and collet closers on lathes and other turning equipment. It accepts round workpieces and features a 1.041 inch-24 internal thread and a 1.242 inch-20 external thread for secure engagement with the draw tube and collet closer. The collet holds a total indicator runout (TIR) of 0.015 mm, making it suitable for precision turning and grinding operations where repeatable workholding accuracy is required. Machinists and toolroom technicians select this collet for production and job-shop environments that rely on 5C tooling systems.

This collet is designed for use in manual and CNC lathes, grinding machines, and milling fixtures equipped with a 5C collet system. It handles round bar stock and turned parts up to the collet bore size. The 26 mm collet size designation makes it appropriate for metric-dimensioned workpieces in that range. Typical applications include turning, facing, drilling, and light grinding on production runs or repair work where quick part changeover is needed.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Before inserting or removing the collet, ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out per your shop lockout/tagout procedure. Thread the collet into the draw tube by hand to avoid cross-threading, then engage the collet closer. Inspect the collet bore and threads for damage or debris before each use to maintain TIR performance.
