Product Description
The SlimTech spring collet system is a slim and high speed collet chuck. It is designed for applications where high speed and less intrusive holders are needed. The slim design of the collet, the removal of the clamping nut and the shape of the holder allow the cutting tool to reach areas where is impossible to reach with traditional holders, the increased rigidity of the package allow to reach speeds up to 30.000 rpm and 2.5G, (this is actually the speed at where the balance is done at the factory!)
There are different sizes of SlimTech spring collets, 06, 08, 10, 12 and 16. The number specify the maximum diameter of the cutting tool in millimeters. These spring collets are only offered in metric and they come in two grades, A & AA, both are specifically designed for end mills. Our spring collets are made of high stength steel and are clamped from the top of the collet with the help of a regular hex wrench, (5 mm for 06 & 08, 6 mm for 10 or 8 mm for 12 & 16).
