R8 Collets

Grip cutting tools in the R8 taper spindle of your Bridgeport or other milling machine. These collets thread onto your machine’s drawbar, pulling them into the spindle so they can clamp tightly around your bit.
The lower the runout, the higher the accuracy and the longer the tool life. An accuracy of 0.0008” works well for roughing and heavy material removal, where tight tolerances aren't critical.

R8 Collet Sets

Keep a set of R8 collets on hand to hold cutting tools in the spindle of your Bridgeport or other milling machine. These collets thread onto your machine’s drawbar, pulling them into the spindle so they can clamp tightly around your bit.
The lower the runout, the higher the accuracy and the longer the tool life. An accuracy of 0.0008" works well for roughing and heavy material removal, where tight tolerances aren't critical.

Machine-Your-Own R8 Collets

Create custom collets in the exact size and shape you need. The face on these collets can be machined to match workpieces and bits with hex and square shanks or sized to 1/64" increments. Also known as emergency collets.
These collets thread onto your machine’s drawbar for a secure connection. Use the included spreader pins to hold the face open while machining the cavity.
