5C-8 Collet by Vertex — Precision 5C Collet, Ø8 mm, 0.02 mm concentricity

The 5C-8 collet secures Ø8 mm shanks for stable clamping in workshop lathes, milling spindles and toolholders, offering a compact solution for repeatable operations.

• 5C system compatibility for standard toolholders
• Ø8 mm clamping diameter for common shank sizes
• Concentricity 0.02 mm for precise runout control
• 87 mm length for extended reach in setups

Accurate clamping that reduces rework and tool wear

A fine concentricity specification of 0.02 mm significantly reduces radial runout, which directly improves surface finish and extends cutter life. The 5C collet design ensures stable contact around the shank, converting tight tolerance into predictable results on each cycle. For high-throughput environments where process reliability matters, this level of precision translates into fewer rejects and lower secondary operations, supporting a more efficient production flow.

Robust dimensions for flexible workshop use

With an 87 mm length and a mass of 0.21 kg, this collet provides a balance between reach and rigidity suitable for both manual lathes and CNC equipment. The 5C system form factor remains one of the most widely adopted standards, enabling consistent integration with existing chucks and fixtures. The lightweight but sturdy construction supports quick changes without compromising stability, helping to maintain cycle times while retaining the clamping force necessary for secure machining.

Identification and operational clarity to streamline procurement

Clear identifiers such as SKU 5C-8 and GTIN simplify inventory handling and reorder processes, while the plain specification of Ø8 mm and 87 mm length removes ambiguity during tooling selection. The product’s repeatable performance assists in process documentation and quality control routines, making it a sensible choice for workshops aiming to centralise precision equipment from a single, reliable supplier.
