New Stronger Collet Design

Positive Tap Drive


                  
The positive drive tap collet design offers several advantages versus the old draw bar style collet. 


  • Positive drive of the tap square off of the meat of the lead screw instead of collet jaws.
  • Collet grips tap closer to work area
  • Only one collet required when using varying length lead screws
