Product Description
5C collets are a very popular size in the machine shop. Sometimes, however, you may not have the right size collet or you may need to hold a part that can only be held in a 4-jaw chuck. This chuck with a 5C back makes it possible to quickly change from a collet to a chuck without breaking down your setup or changing to a different machine. Simply remove the collet and insert this chuck into your 5C holder. When done, change back to collets just as easily. This back has the standard 5C taper, thread, and keyway. Because it is CNC machined from a single billet of steel, the back and body are concentric.
The compact 3.1″ four-jaw chuck can be fitted quickly in a 5C collet holder to do a job requiring the versatility of a chuck. Included is a chuck key to adjust the reversible jaws.
NOTE: The 5C is a larger collet size that is used on full-size machines. This chuck was designed to work on full-size machines like we have in our shop. It was not designed to work with our Sherline lathes.
