Collets are cylindrical metal sleeves used as a type of chuck to hold a tool or device in place using powerful clamping force to hold the tool steadily as it rotates. Collets feature vertical slits to fit tools of multiple sizes, and uniform pressure compresses the collet to hold the tool in place.
We offer a full spectrum of collet tools, including ER collets, collet chucks, collet sets, collet nuts and wrenches, tool holders, and AF collets. Centaur Precision Tools Inc. is a name you can trust, offering more than 30 years of experience in manufacturing high-quality precision tool holders, collets, and tapping systems at affordable prices.
Collets serve the same essential function as a standard chuck but offer precise centering and strong, reliable clamping even in harsh work environments. While they provide extra stability, collets also have a limited range of motion for clamping. A single job may require multiple collets and, therefore, a significant upfront investment.
Often preferred over a traditional chuck due to its suitability for repetitive tasks and unforgiving work, collets are worth the investment for the right job. The tool has many applications and comes in a versatile range of sizes and styles to ensure you can find the perfect tool for the task.
Some of the most common applications for collets include:
- Woodworking
Many woodworkers use collets in drill presses, forming a collar around router bits to hold cutting mechanisms in place and provide precision results. - Metalworking
Collets have many applications in metalworking, such as securing round bars and tools and securing parts during fabrication. - ER Collets
Considered the best choice for clamping devices by many manufacturers, ER collets are CNC tools used to hold components during milling.
