Learn more about Klarna
Description
The Vortex 5C Imperial Lathe Collet – Hex, 1/4" is a purpose-built emergency collet designed for 5C lathe chucks. It’s ideal for machinists and hobbyists who need a customizable, precision grip that can be tailored to a specific component.
- 5C emergency collet design: A soft, machinable body that can be bored to the exact size, depth, taper, or shape required for a particular component.
- 13–15 micron runout: Provides tight concentricity for accurate turning and consistent results in precision work.
- Open during boring with pins: Pins fitted to keep the collet 'open' while boring in a 5C lathe collet chuck, simplifying setup and alignment.
- Re-boreable and reusable: Can be bored many times over to accommodate larger parts in future projects, reducing waste and inventory needs.
- Hex interface, 1/4" sizing: Hex design that supports hex-shaped workpieces and tooling with a 1/4" specification for secure engagement.
- Compatibility: Designed to work with standard 5C lathe collet chucks, making it a versatile addition to both hobbyist and professional shops.
This emergency collet is crafted to adapt as your project evolves—from prototyping small parts to final finishing of custom components. By allowing precise bore customization and reuse, it helps you achieve reliable grip without purchasing multiple fixed-size collets. It’s particularly well-suited for applications requiring bespoke bore dimensions, tight tolerances, and flexible workholding in a compact 5C lathe setup.
