Description

The Vortex 5C Emergency Collet (Square - 8mm) is a soft, bore-friendly tool designed for use with 5C lathe collet chucks. It lets you bore to exact size, depth, taper, or shape to suit a specific component, while delivering a tight 13–15 micron runout for repeatable accuracy. Pins are fitted to keep the collet open during boring operations, and when you’re done, the collet can be re-bored many times to hold larger parts—saving you from discarding reusable tooling.

  • Customizable bore for a perfect fit: The soft material can be bored to size, depth, taper, or shape to match your component, reducing setup time and ensuring a secure grip.
  • Open-bore pins for safe, precise boring: Pins keep the collet open during boring in a 5C lathe collet chuck, enabling clean, controlled operations and consistent results.
  • Re-boreable for long tool life: Re-borable multiple times to accommodate larger parts, maximizing reuse and minimizing waste while preserving pin utility.

This collet helps streamline workflows by providing a adaptable, repeatable gripping solution that supports custom boring tasks, improves accuracy, and extends tooling life without unnecessary waste.
