    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.
    0.0008" Total Indicated Runout (TIR) Accuracy—An accuracy of 0.0008” works well for roughing and heavy material removal, where tight tolerances aren't critical.

    ER Collets

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