Vortex 5C Imperial Lathe Collet in Round Bore, 7/16", is a precision soft collet designed for custom boring tasks in 5C lathe setups. With a focus on tight runout and reusable bore capability, it’s ideal for machinists who need exact-sized bores tailored to their components.

• 13–15 Micron Runout: Delivers tight, repeatable bore accuracy for consistent part quality.
• Soft Collet Design: Intended to be bored to a specific size, depth, taper, or shape to perfectly fit your component.
• Pins for Open Bore During Boring: Pins удерживать collet open during the boring process, enabling clean, controlled machining in a 5C lathe chuck.
• Re-boreable for Larger Parts: After initial boring, the collet can be re-bored multiple times to accommodate bigger workpieces; keep pins for repeated use.
• 5C Lathe Compatibility: Engineered to work seamlessly in standard 5C lathe collet chucks for reliable performance.
• Round Bore Size: Precisely bore to 7/16" to match your 5C machining requirements.

This collet setup simplifies custom bore projects by combining a controllable thickness of material with the flexibility to adjust bore dimensions as your part tolerances evolve. The result is reduced setup time, improved bore accuracy, and a practical, repeatable workflow for prototyping and small-batch production. By leveraging the ability to re-bore, you can adapt to changing part specs without investing in new tooling, making it a smart choice for workshop versatility and precise component fitting.
