Value Collection 530-4214 5C Square Steel Collet 7/32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 530-4214 is a 5C square steel collet designed for use in 5C collet-compatible lathes, indexers, and fixture tooling. Sized at 7/32 inch for square stock, this collet holds workpieces securely during turning, milling, or grinding operations. It features a Total Indicator Runout (TIR) of 0.0005 inches, providing the precision required for close-tolerance work. The internal thread is 1.041-24 and the external thread is 1.242-20, both conforming to standard 5C collet specifications. Machined from steel, it offers durability under repeated clamping cycles. This collet is installed and used by machinists and toolroom technicians in production and job-shop environments.

This collet is suited for securing 7/32 inch square bar stock or workpieces in 5C-compatible spindles and closers. Typical applications include CNC and manual lathe operations, rotary indexing setups, and collet-block fixtures used in milling operations. The square profile makes it appropriate for operations requiring indexed or oriented workholding rather than round stock clamping.

Key Features

• 5C collet profile compatible with standard 5C spindles and closers
• 7/32 inch square bore for accurate gripping of square stock
• TIR of 0.0005 inches for tight-tolerance machining applications
• Internal thread size: 1.041-24
• External thread size: 1.242-20
• Steel construction for durability under repeated use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit addition for any machine tool spindle or collet closer built to the standard 5C collet specification.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Before inserting or removing a collet, ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the closer mechanism is released. Inspect the collet bore and spindle nose for chips or burrs before seating the collet, as debris will affect runout. Do not exceed the rated capacity of the collet closer when applying clamping force.
