The collet expands outward to grip workpieces from their interior bore or outer diameter, making it suitable for secondary operations where external gripping is not practical. It features a head diameter of 4 inches, a head length of 1 inch, and a concentricity rating of 0.0020 inches TIR, providing repeatable, accurate workholding for precision turning and grinding applications. Installation and changeover are performed by machinists and toolroom technicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis expanding collet is intended for use in production and toolroom environments where 5C-compatible spindles are in service. Its grip range spans 0.7500 inches minimum to 3.9375 inches maximum, accommodating a wide variety of workpiece bore sizes in a single collet style. The internal thread size is 1.041 in-24 and the external thread size is 1.242 in-20, allowing proper engagement with standard 5C collet closers and fixtures. It is suited for both short-run job shop work and higher-volume production turning setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExpanding collet design grips workpieces from the interior bore for secondary-operation setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction for rigidity and durability in lathe and grinding applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConcentricity of 0.0020 inches TIR for accurate, repeatable workholding\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWide grip range from 0.7500 inches to 3.9375 inches covers a broad range of bore sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInternal thread 1.041 in-24 and external thread 1.242 in-20 for standard 5C collet closer compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHead diameter of 4 inches and head length of 1 inch suit common 5C spindle configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit replacement or supplemental collet for machine tools equipped with standard 5C collet spindles and closers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and de-energize the machine spindle completely before inserting or removing the collet. Ensure the collet closer threads engage fully and that mating surfaces are clean and free of chips before tightening. Do not overtighten the closer draw tube, as this can distort the collet and degrade concentricity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollet Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Expanding\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConcentricity (TIR)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0020 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInternal Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.041 in-24\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExternal Thread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.242 in-20\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Grip\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.7500 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Grip\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.9375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112800\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 230-4444\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51716531650866,"sku":"230-4444","price":196.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/190864c0d45818458ed0baf5d087e4c5.jpg?v=1788527418","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-230-4444-5c-expanding-collet-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
