- Item Features
- Shoulders and faces can be machined to exact length, regardless of OD variations with the Hardinge Dead-Length Collet Assembly
- Parts are loaded against an adjustable solid stop which is threaded into the inner collet
- The inner collet, in turn, is spring-loaded against the spindle face. There is no end movement.
- The low-cost inner collet has a soft face and pilot hole to permit boring to size in the machine spindle for exacting concentricity.
- The inner collet is pinned to the outer collet to maintain location and original bored accuracy
- Dead-Length Collets can be used on all machines and attachments with a 5C/16C spindle and draw bar.
- The outer collet, solid stop, spring and nut are interchangeable between the Dead-Length Collet and the Dead-Length 2" Step Chuck
- The complete assembly is a one time purchase; after that, buy the inner collet only.
