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.
