Value Collection 235-7050 Horizontal Collet Block Chuck 5C

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 235-7050 is a manually activated horizontal collet block chuck designed for use with 5C series collets. It accepts collet sizes ranging from 1/16 inch to 1-1/8 inch in capacity, making it suitable for a wide range of workholding setups on milling machines, surface grinders, and inspection fixtures. The horizontal orientation positions the workpiece parallel to the machine table, allowing for flat-surface operations such as milling keyways or flats on round stock. Machinists and toolroom operators install this chuck when precise, repeatable positioning of cylindrical parts is required without the need for a powered or pneumatic clamping mechanism.

This collet block is well-suited for toolroom, production, and inspection environments where 5C collet tooling is already in use. It is commonly mounted on milling machine tables or sine plates for secondary operations on turned parts. The manual activation method keeps the setup simple and eliminates the need for air lines or hydraulic connections at the workstation. Typical applications include milling flats, drilling cross-holes, and holding work for layout or inspection tasks.

Key Features

• Horizontal orientation for milling, grinding, and inspection setups on standard machine tables
• Compatible with 5C series collets across the full standard 5C range
• Collet capacity from 1/16 inch to 1-1/8 inch covers a broad range of round, square, and hex stock
• Manual activation requires no pneumatic or hydraulic supply lines
• Compact block form factor allows use in confined table setups

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 5C series collets. Compatible with any workholding setup or machine table that accepts a 5C collet block in the horizontal orientation.

Installation Notes

Installation and setup should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with collet block workholding. Secure the block firmly to the machine table or fixture plate using appropriate clamping hardware before loading a collet or workpiece. Ensure the machine spindle or table is at a complete stop and all power is off before making any adjustments to the collet or chuck. Inspect collet seating and tightening per standard shop practice before initiating any cutting or grinding operation.
