Value Collection 235-6080 5C Collet Holding Fixture

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 235-6080 is a Series 5C standard collet holding fixture designed for secure workholding during machining, grinding, and inspection operations. Manually activated via a cam lever, it accepts 5C collets with a capacity range of 1/32 inch to 1-1/8 inch, making it versatile for a wide range of round, square, and hex stock sizes. The fixture supports both horizontal and vertical orientation, allowing machinists and toolroom technicians to position work as the operation demands. At 9.15 pounds, the unit provides a stable platform without excessive bench weight. It is suited for production and job-shop environments where repeatable, precise workholding is required.

This fixture is intended for use in machine shops, toolrooms, and quality-control setups where 5C collets are the standard workholding system. The horizontal and vertical mounting capability makes it practical for secondary operations, off-machine inspection, and light grinding work. The cam lever activation allows quick collet changes without additional tooling, reducing setup time during high-mix production runs. It is typically installed and operated by machinists and toolroom personnel familiar with 5C collet systems.

Installation Notes

Placement on a clean, flat bench or surface plate is recommended to ensure accurate workholding. Secure the base firmly before engaging the cam lever to prevent movement during operation. Inspect the collet and fixture bore for chips or debris before seating a collet, as contamination can affect concentricity and clamping force. Operation and maintenance should be performed by qualified machining personnel familiar with collet workholding systems.
