Value Collection 230-8018 5C Round Collet Set 18 Pc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 230-8018 is an 18-piece 5C round collet set designed for use with 5C collet-compatible lathes, spin fixtures, and collet chucks. The set covers a capacity range from 1/16 inch (0.0625 inch) to 1-1/8 inch (1.1250 inch) in increments of 1/16 inch, providing a complete spread of sizes for holding round stock across common machining operations. Total indicated runout (TIR) is rated at 0.0005 inch, supporting accurate, repeatable workholding. The set weighs 11 pounds and is suited for use by machinists and tool room professionals working in production or job-shop environments.

This collet set is intended for shop environments where 5C-style workholding equipment is already in use. It covers 18 individual sizes, making it appropriate for operations that regularly handle varied round stock diameters without the need to source collets individually. Typical applications include turning, grinding, and secondary operations on CNC or manual lathes equipped with 5C spindles or collet closers.

Compatibility

Designed for use with 5C collet-compatible spindles, collet chucks, and spin fixtures as a standard OEM-style workholding solution for round stock applications.

Installation Notes

5C collets are installed and removed by a machinist or tool room technician using the appropriate collet closer or chuck for the host machine. Ensure the spindle and collet closer are fully de-energized and the machine is locked out before changing collets. Collet bores and mating spindle tapers should be clean and free of chips or debris prior to seating. Do not exceed the rated capacity of individual collets, as overloading can cause workholding failure or collet damage.
