FAQs

Are these collets compatible with ER series spindles?

No, these are R8 collets specifically designed for R8 spindle tapers and are not compatible with ER collet chucks.

What is the maximum TIR for this set?

The set is precision-ground to a TIR (Total Indicator Reading) of 0.0012 inches (30 μm).

What drawbar thread size do these collets use?

The internal drawbar thread is standard 7/16-20 UNF.

How should I store these to keep them from rusting?

Keep them in the original labeled box and ensure they remain coated with a thin layer of anti-rust machine oil.

Does this set include an 11/16 size?

Yes, the 13-piece set includes 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 11/16, 13/16, 3/16, 3/4, 3/8, 5/16, 5/8, 7/16, 7/8, and 9/16 inch sizes.

Troubleshooting

Collet does not seat properly in the spindle

Inspect the spindle taper and the collet for debris or burrs; clean both surfaces thoroughly.

Tool pull-out during heavy cutting

Verify that the drawbar is tightened to the correct torque and check that the collet size matches the tool shank precisely.

Surface rust appearing on the collets

Clean the surface with a light abrasive pad or solvent, then re-apply a high-quality anti-rust oil to protect the steel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your R8 spindle taper is clean and free of debris. Insert the collet into the spindle, aligning the keyway, and thread the drawbar into the internal 7/16-20 UNF thread until snug. Do not overtighten, as this can stress the threads.

Care Instructions:

  • Always store collets in the provided case when not in use.
  • Regularly wipe down with a thin coat of anti-rust oil, especially if working in a humid shop environment.
