FAQ

Do these collets require special installation tools or wrenches?
No, you can use the tool change accessories that are supplied with Origin to install the all the collets in the collet kit.

How should I care for my collets
Material build-up inside a collet reduces the clamping effectiveness of the collet. This can result in a misaligned cutter, introducing "runout" in your cuts. Be sure to regularly inspect and clean the collet. Also, only use cutters with your collets that are the intended shank size. A mismatched cutter shank and collet can harm a collet's clamping force and eventually make it unusable.
