Description

Meet the Vortex 5C Imperial Lathe Collet in Round Bore, 1/16". This soft collet is designed to be bored to a precise size to fit your unique component, delivering consistent concentricity on a 5C lathe setup.

Vortex 5C Imperial Lathe Collet – Round Bore 1/16 inch

  • Nominal bore: Round 1/16" bore designed for precise work in 5C lathe setups.
  • Ultra-low runout: 13–15 micron runout to maintain concentric gripping for tight tolerances.
  • Soft collet design: Intended to be bored to a specific size, depth, taper, or shape to match your component.
  • Re-boring capability: After initial boring, the collet can be re-bored multiple times to accommodate larger parts.
  • Pin-assisted opening: Pins hold the collet open during boring, enabling controlled operations and easy reuse.
  • 5C lathe compatibility: Used with 5C lathe collet chucks for standard, reliable mounting.

This collet is ideal for machinists working on custom fittings, specialty parts, or prototypes where precise bore-to-part matching matters. By enabling bore customization and reuse, it reduces the need for multiple fixed-size collets and streamlines your workflow to achieve repeatable results across jobs.
