Vortex 5C Imperial Lathe collet - Round Bore - 15/16"

Precision-ready and flexible, the Vortex 5C Imperial Lathe Collet with a Round Bore of 15/16" is designed for machinists who routinely bore custom sizes on a 5C lathe. This soft collet is meant to be bored to your exact final size and shape, giving you a tailored bore that stays concentric and repeatable.

• Type: 5C boring collet for imperial (5C) lathe systems, designed to be bored to a specific size
• Bore Size: Round bore at 15/16" (0.9375") before final sizing
• Runout: 13–15 micron runout, supporting tight concentricity for precision parts
• Construction: Soft collet engineered to be bored to the exact size, depth, taper, or shape you need
• Open-Bore Mechanism: Pins hold the collet open during the boring process, with boring performed in a 5C lathe collet chuck
• Re-boring Capability: Can be re-bored multiple times to accommodate larger parts; keep pins for repeated use

Using this bore-ready collet delivers repeatable, accurate internal diameters for components like bushings, sleeves, and precision couplings. The ability to tailor the bore on the fly reduces setup steps and inventory needs, while the peened alignment of the 5C chuck ensures dependable performance across multiple cycles. Whether you’re prototyping a custom part or producing a small batch, this collet helps you achieve a tight fit with minimal waste and consistent results.
