Value Collection T5C-PL Series 5C Collet Holding Fixture

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION T5C-PL is a horizontal standard collet holding fixture designed for use with Series 5C collets in machining and workholding applications. Manually activated via a cam lock positive release lever, the fixture secures 5C collets firmly during turning, grinding, or inspection operations. The unit measures 3.5 inches in base diameter, 4.5 inches in base length, and stands 3.75 inches high. At 7 pounds, it provides a stable, low-profile footprint on a surface plate or bench. This fixture is typically installed and operated by machinists, toolroom technicians, and production shop personnel.

The T5C-PL is suited for horizontal workholding setups where a 5C collet is used to grip round, square, or hex stock for secondary operations such as milling, drilling, or part inspection. Its manual cam lock mechanism allows quick collet changes without additional tooling. The horizontal orientation makes it practical for bench-top use on surface plates, rotary tables, or dedicated fixture bases in both job shop and production environments.

Installation Notes

Installation and setup is typically performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Secure the fixture base to a flat, clean surface plate or machine table before loading a collet. Ensure the cam lock lever is fully released before inserting or removing a collet, and confirm positive lock engagement before applying any cutting or clamping forces. Inspect the cam lock mechanism and seating surfaces for wear or debris as part of routine maintenance.
