Product DescriptionThe Hardinge Sure-Grip® Expanding Collet System is engineered for internal gripping of larger-diameter bores on lathes and arbors. The #250 Series covers 3/4" to 1" (19.05 to 25.4 mm). Collets are offered in 1/64" increments and each collet will securely hold a workpiece bore up to -0.001" (0.0254 mm) under the nominal collet size.
Advantages- Instant centering of the arbor—no adjustment after mounting
- Quick changeover for reduced setup time
- Wide gripping range per collet (fewer collets required)
- True parallel gripping even when contacting half the collet body
- High gripping force for stable machining
- Light gripping available for small bores down to 1/8" (3.175 mm)
- Built-in safety stop to prevent overexpansion
- Exact part length control for repeatable results
- Interchangeable collets for consistent capacity across spindle styles
