Value Collection S 222 Tap Collet 0.3937 in Rubber

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION S 222 is a rubber tap collet designed to hold taps securely during threading operations in tapping chucks and holders. With a collet size of 0.3937 inches (10.00 mm) and a minimum collet capacity of 0.2559 inches (6.5 mm), it accommodates taps ranging from 1/4 inch through 1/2 inch. The rubber construction provides controlled tension and grip, making it suitable for machine tapping applications where consistent tap alignment and reduced breakage risk are priorities. Machinists and toolroom technicians working with CNC machining centers, drill presses, or dedicated tapping machines will find this collet a straightforward replacement or spare.

This collet is intended for use in machine tapping setups where a rubber-style collet is specified. It does not feature through-coolant capability and is not a tension-style tap collet, making it appropriate for standard tapping operations without coolant-through tooling requirements. It is suited for light to medium duty tapping work across a range of tap sizes within its stated capacity range.

Compatibility

Designed for use with tapping chucks and collet-style tap holders that accept a 0.3937 inch (10.00 mm) rubber collet for taps sized 1/4 inch through 1/2 inch.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Always power down and de-energize the machine spindle before inserting or removing collets from the chuck body. Ensure the collet bore and chuck body are clean and free of chips or debris before seating the collet to prevent misalignment. Do not exceed the stated tap size range, as oversizing can damage the collet or cause tap breakage.
