Value Collection 235-7054 5C Horizontal Collet Block Chuck

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 235-7054 is a Series 5C horizontal collet block chuck designed for manual workholding applications in machining and toolroom environments. It accepts 5C collets ranging from 1/16 inch to 1-1/8 inch in diameter, providing a wide capacity range across common round, hex, and square stock sizes. The horizontal orientation positions the collet axis parallel to the work surface, making it well suited for milling, grinding, and inspection setups where the part must be held steady and square. Machinists and toolroom technicians are the primary users of this fixture. Weighing 1.75 pounds, it is compact enough for use on smaller surface plates and milling tables.

This collet block chuck is used in manual machining setups where a 5C collet is the chosen workholding standard. It is appropriate for light- to medium-duty material removal, part inspection, and secondary operations on previously turned workpieces. The horizontal orientation is particularly common in rotary table setups and sine vise arrangements on vertical milling machines. It is also widely used on surface grinders where precise angular or flat indexing of cylindrical stock is required.

Key Features

• 5C collet series compatibility covers a broad range of standard shop collets
• Collet capacity from 1/16 inch to 1-1/8 inch accommodates small-diameter through medium-diameter stock
• Horizontal orientation suits milling, grinding, and inspection table setups
• Manual activation keeps the design simple with no pneumatic or hydraulic lines required
• Compact 1.75-pound build reduces setup weight on sensitive fixtures and surface plates

Compatibility

Designed for use with Series 5C collets in horizontal collet block chuck applications. Accepts any standard 5C collet within the stated capacity range of 1/16 inch to 1-1/8 inch.

Installation Notes

Installation and setup should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician familiar with 5C collet workholding systems. Ensure the milling table, surface grinder table, or fixture plate is clean and free of chips before seating the collet block. Inspect the collet and block bore for wear or damage before tightening. Do not exceed the rated collet capacity, as oversize stock can crack the collet or damage the chuck body.
