    CAT Taper Collet Chucks

    Hold collets tightly in CNC machines with CAT taper spindles for milling, drilling, and routing. Made from high-grade hardened steel, these chucks remain rigid and accurate while resisting wear—even at high speeds. The shank on these chucks is precision ground to the industry standard AT3 tolerance—or better—for a secure fit that minimizes runout in your machine spindle. To ensure compatibility across machines, these chucks meet ANSI/ASME standards for CAT spindles. Insert your collet and tighten the nut to clamp your tool in place. Internal threads on the shank let you attach a retention knob, so you can connect these chucks to your machine’s drawbar system.
    All chucks can deliver coolant to your tool’s cutting edge to clear chips and extend tool life. If you have a machine that sends coolant through the spindle, pair them with an ER coolant control collet for the best results.
    To maximize grip and minimize runout, choose a chuck where your tool diameter falls in the middle of the bit shank size range.
    Chucks balanced to G 2.5 vibrate less than chucks balanced to G 6.3, so your collets, bits, and spindle will last longer. Chucks balanced to G 6.3 are a cost-effective option that is good for most machining tasks.

    Clamp cutting tools in TG collet chucks for rough milling and drilling. These collets have a steep taper angle for a tighter, more stable grip than ER collets. This design gives them the strength to handle large tools and aggressive cuts. However, their grip range is smaller than ER collets, so you’ll need more collets to hold the same range of shank sizes. Use them in CNC machines and drill presses.

    Tool Holder Shown

    Compressing

    Deburr using your CNC machine without complex programming. These holders grip your deburring tools and extend and retract along the shape of your part to smooth away burs—no overcutting. All you need to do is tell your CNC machine which direction to go. Use them with ball burs.
    To mount these tool holders to your machine, you will need another rotary tool holder or a collet that accepts a 20 mm diameter shank. They should not be held by hydraulic chucks or shrink-fit holders. To install your bur, you'll need an ER-11 collet. Use the spanner wrench (sold separately) to tighten the tool holder nut around the collet.
    These tool holders should not be used with cutting fluid; clear any fluid or debris off your workpiece before deburring.
    Fixed Spring Load—Tool holders with a fixed spring load apply a consistent amount of force. They apply force by pushing down (compression) when working on the front of your part and pulling back (tension) when working on the back of your part, so you can deburr both sides with a single holder.
    Adjustable Spring Load—Tool holders with an adjustable spring load have four levels of deburring force. They only apply force by pushing down (compression) on your part, so they can only deburr the front.
    Light Spring Load—A light spring load has a delicate cutting action, applying about the same amount of pressure as your pinky finger. It is ideal for aluminum, plastics, and other soft materials.
    Medium Spring Load—A medium spring load is best for moderate cutting action, applying about as much pressure as your index finger. Use it when deburring steel.
    Heavy Spring Load—A heavy spring load is best for aggressive cutting—it gives about the same force as pressing down with your palm. Use it on stainless steel and other hard materials.

    Hold collets tightly in Bridgeport and other manual machines with R8 spindles to grip tools for milling, drilling, and routing. These chucks let you use the same ER or TG collets as other machines. This reduces the number of collets you need while also giving you a strong grip on your tools. Insert your collet and tighten the nut to clamp your tool in place. Internal threads on the shank let you connect them to your machine’s drawbar system.
    To maximize grip and minimize runout, choose a chuck where your tool diameter falls in the middle of the bit shank size range.

    Ultra-Low-Friction

    Bearing Collet Nuts

    Secure TG collets inside collet chucks and fixtures. Tightening these nuts squeezes the collet around the cutting tool, clamping it firmly in place.
    Low Friction—Low-friction coated nuts tighten more smoothly than standard collet nuts for even clamping and longer tool life. Replace them when the coating wears away.
    Ultra Low Friction—Ultra-low-friction bearing nuts are often used in the highest quality chucks. Instead of a coating that can wear away, these nuts have internal ball bearings for the smoothest and most uniform clamping. The result is a stronger grip, higher accuracy, and longer tool life compared to coated collet nuts. You can take them apart and clean them rather than replacing them.

    Straight-Shank Collet Chucks

    Extend your tool holder’s reach or adapt it to fit different collet systems on manual and CNC lathes and machining centers. Made from hardened alloy steel, these chucks remain rigid and accurate while resisting wear—even at high speeds. Their shank is also precision ground for a secure fit that minimizes runout in your machine spindle. Insert your collet and tighten the nut to clamp your tool in place.
    These chucks have a collet stop screw that sets the tool depth in the chuck for consistent, repeatable performance when you change tools. They’re also through-bore coolant-compatible, so they can route coolant through their center to clear chips, improve the finish of your workpiece, and extend the life of your tool. If you have a machine that sends coolant through the spindle, pair them with an ER coolant control collet for the best results.
    To maximize grip and minimize runout, choose a chuck where your tool diameter falls in the middle of the bit shank size range.
