Collets

A collet is a holding device used in machining and manufacturing processes to hold a workpiece or a tool securely in place. It is commonly used in metalworking, woodworking, and other industries where precision is crucial.There are different types of collets, but they generally consist of a tapered sleeve with an inner surface that matches the shape of the workpiece or tool to be held. Collets are designed to be inserted into a corresponding collet chuck or spindle, where they can be tightened to grip the workpiece or tool firmly.Collets are often used in machining operations such as milling, turning, and grinding. They provide a more secure and precise grip compared to other holding methods, allowing for accurate and repeatable machining processes. Additionally, collets are known for their ability to quickly change tools or workpieces, improving efficiency in production environments.
