Vortex 5C Metric Lathe collet - Round Bore - 20mm

The Vortex 5C Metric Lathe Collet – Round Bore – 20mm is a soft, bore-to-fit 5C collet designed for precision turning and custom workpieces. It’s ideal for engineers, machinists, and workshops that need a dependable way to hold unusual or custom-sized parts with tight concentricity in a 5C lathe chuck.

During boring, pins keep the collet open, allowing you to create an exact bore size, depth, taper, or shape to match your component. Once bored, these collets can be re-bored multiple times to accommodate larger parts, maximizing reuse and reducing the need for new tooling.

• Ultra-low 13–15 micron runout: Delivers exceptional concentricity for consistent gripping and improved surface finish across small, precision parts.
• Bore-to-fit versatility: Soft collet design that can be bored to a specific size, depth, taper, or shape to match your exact component, reducing trial-and-error and setup time.
• Re-boreable with pin-assisted opening: Pins hold the collet open during boring and enable multiple reboring cycles, allowing you to reuse the same collet for progressively larger parts.

This combination of precise runout, customizable bore capability, and reusable design helps you tighten tolerances, shorten setup times, and keep your workflow moving smoothly from one job to the next.
