Vortex 5C Metric Lathe collet - Round Bore - 2mm

The Vortex 5C Round Bore Lathe Collet (2 mm) is a soft 5C boring collet designed to be bored to your exact size, depth, taper, or shape. Used with a standard 5C lathe collet chuck, it delivers a precise, tailored bore for small parts and components where standard pre-sized collets don’t fit.

Because the bore is created by boring rather than purchased pre-sized, you can adapt the collet as your needs evolve—bore once for a tight fit, then re-bore for larger parts. Pins keep the collet open during boring, and the collet can be re-bored multiple times, helping you maximize tool life and reduce the need for new hardware.

• 13–15 μm runout for consistent accuracy: Delivers tight concentricity in every bore, reducing part variance and helping you achieve precise fits for small-diameter components.
• Bore-to-fit versatility with re-bore capability: The soft collet can be bored to a precise size, depth, taper, or shape, and then re-bored later to accommodate larger parts—extending life and reducing fixture changes.
• Pin-assisted open operation for fast setup: Pins hold the collet open during boring, simplifying loading and unloading and ensuring repeatable, reliable results across multiple cycles.

Whether you’re prototyping or running small-batch production, this collet helps you achieve precise, repeatable bore dimensions with minimal downtime. Its re-bore capability keeps your tooling flexible as part sizes evolve, while the pin-assisted opening streamlines setup and changeovers, making it a dependable addition to any 5C tooling system.
