Vortex 5C Metric Lathe collet - Round Bore - 18mm

Introducing the Vortex 5C Metric Lathe Collet – Round Bore, 18mm. These soft 5C boring collets are designed to be bored to a precise size, depth, taper, or shape to suit your component, and are used with a 5C lathe collet chuck to deliver accurate, repeatable results.

• Customizable bore for exact fits: Soft collets that can be bored to the specific size, depth, taper, or shape you need, ensuring a precise match to your part and reducing setup time.
• Pin-assisted opening for controlled boring: Pins keep the collet open during the boring process, enabling clean, stable setup and consistent bore quality in a 5C lathe chuck.
• Re-boreable for long‑term versatility: Once bored, these collets can be re-bored multiple times to accommodate larger parts, so keep the pins for repeated use and ongoing adaptability.

With a 18mm round bore and a 13–15 micron runout, this collet delivers reliable concentricity and predictable results across parts. The re-boreable design reduces downtime and replacement costs, while the pin-assisted opening streamlines setup and maintains alignment through multiple borings. Ideal for machinists, hobbyists, and shop floors alike, the Vortex 5C Collet provides a precise, flexible solution for customized bore work in 5C lathe applications.
