    ER Collets

    The most widely used type of collet, these collets hold cutting tools in ER collet chucks for milling, drilling, and routing. Spring slots clamp evenly around the shank to minimize runout for clean, accurate cuts and long tool life. The slots flex to grip slightly undersized shanks too, so you don't need an exact match for each cutting tool in your lineup. You can also use these collets in ER collet fixtures and custom setups to keep small round parts centered.
    52100 Alloy Steel—Hardened 52100 alloy steel collets are made from the same tough material used to make bearings. They’re more wear-resistant than basic spring steel collets but will wear faster than hardened chrome-moly steel collets if you change bits frequently.
    Chrome-Moly Steel—Hardened chrome-moly steel collets are more wear-resistant than hardened 52100 alloy steel collets. They hold their shape better over time and have lower runout, even with frequent bit changes. Often used for high-volume production runs, they stand up to high-speed, high-force machining in any material.

    R8 Collets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Milling Machine Collets. 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.

    Quick-Change Milling Machine Tool Holders

    Image of System. Front orientation. Exploded view. Contains Annotated, MultipleImages. Milling Machine Tool Holders. Quick-Change Milling Machine Tool Holders.
    Swap tool holders in seconds without a wrench. This R8 quick-change system replaces conventional drawbar setups that require multiple turns to change tooling. A brass locking button and spring-loaded collar allow one-handed tool changes, so you can move quickly between drilling, milling, and facing operations. The R8 body installs in your milling machine spindle, letting you switch holders to reduce downtime between operations.

    ER Tap Collets

    Image of Attribute. Front orientation. Contains MultipleImages. ER Tap Collets.

    Hold square-shank taps in ER collet chucks and tap holders to create internal threads in workpieces. To hold taps tightly in place, these collets have spring slots that grip the round part of the shank and a square opening in the base that mates with the square end. They meet DIN and ISO dimensional standards.
    These collets hold inch and metric taps that have shanks that meet ANSI standards. They will not work with taps that have shanks sized to ISO, DIN, or JIS standards.
    52100 Alloy Steel—52100 alloy steel collets are made from the same tough material used to make bearings. They’re more wear-resistant than basic spring steel collets.
    Chrome-Moly Steel—Chrome-moly steel collets are more wear-resistant than 52100 alloy steel collets. They hold their shape better over time, which helps them keep a strong grip on taps. They also have lower runout, so your taps last up to 20% longer and create more accurate threads. Often used for high-volume production runs, they hold up to high-speed and high-force tapping in any material.

    Made with high-performance machining in mind—these collets not only grip your cutting tool but also direct coolant to the tool's cutting edge. They have coolant channels designed to work with through-spindle coolant (TSC) systems to clear chips and reduce heat from friction, resulting in clean cuts and long tool life. Place them directly into your ER collet holder, no need to fuss with special collet nuts, coolant rings, or repositioning hoses and nozzles with every setup change.
    You get the benefits of using an ER collet, too. Spring slots clamp evenly around the shank to minimize runout for accurate cuts. Keep in mind, these collets must form a tight seal around the tool shank for proper coolant delivery, so match the shank size to the collet size exactly for the best results.
    Sealed Coolant Delivery Collet—Sealed collets run coolant through the cutting tool, so they only work with tools that have coolant holes. Since the coolant runs through the tool, they’re a better choice for deep-hole drilling and high-speed machining than collets with angled ports. Steel seals are built into their body, so they withstand higher pressure and last longer than collets with rubber seals.
    Angled Ports Coolant Delivery Collet—Collets with angled ports direct coolant around, not through, the tool, so you get the benefit of coolant control without needing expensive tools with coolant holes.
    52100 Alloy Steel—Hardened 52100 alloy steel collets are made from the same tough material used to make bearings. They’re more wear-resistant than basic spring steel collets but will wear faster than hardened chrome-moly steel collets if you change bits too frequently.
    Chrome-Moly Steel—Hardened chrome-moly steel collets are more wear-resistant than hardened 52100 alloy steel collets. They hold their shape better over time and have lower runout, even with frequent bit changes. Often used for high-volume production runs, they stand up to high-speed, high-force machining in any material. Their maximum coolant pressure is higher than 52100 alloy steel collets, so they’re a better choice for deep-hole drilling and turning operations in CNC Swiss lathes.

    Also known as double-angle and Erickson collets, these collets are used for drilling, reaming, and light milling. They grip cutting tools in DA collet chucks but are less accurate and have a weaker grip than ER and TG collets. This can lead to a shorter life for these collets and cutting tools. You can also use them with die grinders to hold bits and burs.

    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.
