Vortex 5C Metric Lathe collet - Round Bore - 28mm

The Vortex 5C Metric Lathe Collet with a 28mm round bore is a soft-bore collet designed to be bored to your exact size, depth, taper, or custom shape to fit your component. Built for use in a 5C lathe collet chuck, it uses pins to hold the collet open during the boring process to deliver clean, controlled enlargements.

Once bored, these collets can be re-bored multiple times to accommodate larger parts, and you can keep the pins for repeated use—maximizing flexibility and extending the collet’s usable life. The 28mm round bore ensures compatibility with standard 5C applications, making this a practical choice for both shop benches and production environments.

• Customizable bore to your exact size: Soft collet design lets you bore the bore to your precise size, depth, taper, or shape to fit your component, reducing trial-and-error and waste.
• Low, repeatable runout: 13–15 micron runout provides precise centering and stable grip, improving part accuracy and surface finish.
• Re-boreable with pin-assisted opening: Pins hold the collet open during boring in a 5C chuck, and the collet can be re-bored multiple times to accommodate larger parts, extending flexibility and reducing replacement costs.

With the Vortex 5C Round Bore Collet, you gain a versatile, reliable workholding solution that adapts to your evolving projects. The bore customization improves grip accuracy and concentricity for better tolerances and finishes, while the tight runout supports consistent results across jobs. The re-borability, supported by the pin-assisted opening method, helps you stretch tool life and minimize downtime, making this a dependable choice for professionals and hobbyists working with standard 5C lathe setups.
