Value Collection S 413 Rubber Tap Collet 0.3937 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION S 413 is a rubber tap collet designed to hold taps securely during tapping operations in machining and threading applications. With a collet size of 0.3937 inches (10.00 mm) and a minimum collet capacity of 0.1772 inches (4.5 mm), this collet provides a stable grip across a range of tap shank sizes. Rubber construction allows for controlled tension and slight float, absorbing axial forces during the tapping cycle. It is sized for use in standard tap holders and collet chucks on drill presses, CNC machining centers, and manual mills.

This tap collet is suited for production and job-shop environments where consistent thread quality is required. Typical applications include through-hole and blind-hole tapping in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The collet seats into a compatible tap holder body and is changed out when replacing tap sizes or when collet wear affects grip consistency. No through-coolant feature is present, making this appropriate for dry or flood-coolant setups where internal coolant delivery is not required.

Key Features

• Rubber collet construction absorbs axial load and allows controlled tap float
• Collet size: 0.3937 inches (10.00 mm)
• Minimum collet capacity: 0.1772 inches (4.5 mm)
• No through-coolant passage — compatible with external flood and dry tapping
• Non-tension tap design for standard tapping holder configurations
• Lightweight at 0.03 pounds for easy handling and quick changeover

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or spare tap collet for use in compatible 10 mm tap collet holders. Verify collet body and retention style match your existing tap holder before installation. No specific holder models were identified in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or tool-crib technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before inserting or removing any collet. Ensure the collet bore and holder taper are clean and free of chips or coolant residue before seating. Do not force the collet into an incompatible holder body, as rubber collets can deform and lose gripping accuracy if over-compressed.
