Learn more about Klarna
Description
The Vortex 5C Emergency Lathe Collet in Brass is a soft, reworkable solution designed for 5C lathe chucks, ideal when you need a custom-fit bore for delicate components. With a 1/16 inch bore, it can be bored to size, depth, taper, or shape to match a specific part.
- Bore size: 1/16 inch bore, ready for precise, customized boring to your part’s exact dimensions.
- Material: Brass construction to minimize marring on delicate components, offering a gentle grip where needed.
- Emergency/adjustable: Soft, reworkable collet that can be bored to size, depth, taper, or shape for a perfect fit.
- Open-when-boring: Pins keep the collet open during boring, enabling safe and controlled interior machining in a 5C lathe chuck.
- Re-borability: Can be re-bored many times to accommodate larger parts, extending the tool’s usable life without discarding the pins.
- Compatibility: Specifically designed for 5C lathe collet chucks, ensuring easy integration into standard setups.
This brass emergency collet helps you prototype and finalize parts with minimal risk of marring, while its re-borability means you can reuse the same collet as your project evolves. The ability to bore to exact size, depth, or taper delivers clean, accurate bores without needing a whole set of fixed-diameter collets. While brass is softer than steel and may not grip as aggressively, its non-marring properties are ideal for delicate materials, and the built-in pins simplify setup by keeping the bore open during machining.
