Learn more about Klarna
Description
The Vortex 5C Imperial Lathe Collet with Round Bore (1" 1/16") is a soft collet designed for true customization in 5C lathe work. It’s built for machinists who need a bore tailored to a specific size, depth, taper, or shape, delivering a precise grip on unusual components.

- Round bore size: 1" 1/16" imperial bore that can be bored to your exact specification inside a 5C lathe collet chuck.
- Precision runout: 13–15 micron runout after boring, helping maintain concentricity on delicate parts.
- Soft collet design: Intended to be bored to a precise size, depth, taper, or shape for a custom fit.
- Open-bore with pins: Pins hold the collet open during the boring process for clean, controlled machining.
- Re-borability: Can be re-bored multiple times to accommodate larger parts; keep the pins for repeated use.
- 5C lathe compatibility: Designed for use in a 5C lathe collet chuck, enabling straightforward setup and repeatable results.
By tailoring the bore to your exact part, you gain tighter concentricity, cleaner finishes, and reliable gripping for custom components such as bushings, sleeves, adapters, or sleeves that don’t fit standard bore sizes. The ability to re-bore the collet as your project needs evolve minimizes downtime and reduces waste, making this a practical, durable choice for precision-focused workflows.
