Value Collection 235-6085 5C Collet Holding Fixture

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 235-6085 is a Series 5C horizontal and vertical standard collet holding fixture designed for use in machining and workholding applications. This manually activated fixture secures 5C collets in either horizontal or vertical orientation, giving machinists and toolroom technicians flexibility when setting up turning, grinding, or inspection operations. The quick-acting lever mechanism allows fast collet engagement and release without additional tooling. The base measures 4.5 inches in diameter and 6 inches in length, with an overall height of 4 inches, and the unit weighs 16.14 pounds, making it a substantial, stable platform for precision work.

This fixture is suited for machine shop environments, toolrooms, and production floors where 5C collets are the standard workholding method. It supports both horizontal and vertical mounting orientations, making it adaptable to a range of bench-top and machine-mounted setups. Typical users include machinists, tool and die makers, and quality control technicians who require repeatable collet positioning during turning, milling, or part inspection tasks. The manual quick-acting lever keeps setup time low in moderate-volume production or job-shop scenarios.
