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.

Keep a set of ER collets on hand to hold cutting tools for milling, drilling, and routing. They’re the most versatile and widely used type of collet. 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.

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.
