Vortex 5C Metric Lathe collet - Hex - 6mm

The Vortex 5C Hex 6mm Lathe Collet is a soft emergency collet designed for 5C lathe chucks in the hex 6mm size. It delivers tight 13–15 micron runout and can be bored to the exact size, depth, taper, or shape required for a specific component.

Pins fitted to the collet keep it open during boring, enabling stable, accurate work in the chuck. When projects change, this collet can be re-bored many times to hold larger parts, extending its life and reducing waste in busy shops.

• Customizable bore and geometry: The soft material and bored-to-size capability let you tailor the collet to match the exact size, depth, taper, or shape your part needs, reducing setup time and improving first-pass accuracy.
• Pins keep the bore open during boring: Special pins hold the collet in an open position while boring is performed, delivering stable alignment and cleaner internal features in a single setup.
• Re-boreable and reusable: Designed to be bored several times to accommodate larger parts, so you can reuse the same collet across multiple jobs and avoid unnecessary waste.

With the Vortex 5C Hex 6mm Lathe Collet, you gain a flexible, cost-effective workholding solution that adapts to changing part geometries. It supports precise gripping, reduces downtime from manual fixturing, and helps maintain consistent results across a wide range of small to mid-size components.
