Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need a drawbar to use this? A: Yes, R-8 collets require a threaded drawbar running through the machine spindle to pull the collet up and compress it around the tool.
Q: Can I use this to hold metric tool shanks? A: Collets have a very narrow clamping range; you should only use a 1/4-inch (6.35mm) collet for exactly 1/4-inch shanks, not slightly smaller metric sizes like 6mm.
