Description

The Vortex 5C Imperial Lathe Collet in Hex 7/16" is an emergency, re-boreable solution for machinists who need flexible, precise gripping in a 5C lathe chuck. Designed to adapt to hex-shaped components, it delivers reliable performance when standard collets aren’t a perfect fit.

  • 5C Emergency Collet: Soft construction that can be bored to size, depth, taper, or shape to match a specific component.
  • 13–15 Micron Runout: Ensures tight concentricity and improves accuracy during turning of hex workpieces.
  • Pins to Keep Bore Open: Pins are fitted to hold the collet open during the boring operation in a 5C lathe collet chuck.
  • Re-boreable Design: Can be bored many times over to accommodate larger parts as needs change—no need to discard the pins.
  • Hex 7/16" Compatibility: Specifically built to grip hex-shaped workpieces with a 7/16" size profile.
  • 5C Lathe Chuck Ready: Optimized for use with standard 5C lathe collet chucks in imperial measurements.

This collet provides practical flexibility for workflows that require custom-fitting hex components. It solves the challenge of out-of-standard sizes by allowing precise rework to final dimensions, while the open-bore design with pins keeps operations smooth and predictable during boring. Re-boring capability means it can grow with your projects, reducing downtime and the need for additional tooling.
