Your drawing defines the bore. We machine the rest to match. This is a 20-type square bore spring collet, built for auto lathes that demand concentric grip and repeatable release. We cut it from solid stock, heat-treat it for spring memory, and verify the square bore geometry before shipment.
No guesswork. No off-the-shelf approximations. You send the print; we hold the tolerance.
At a glance: ±0.005 mm on bore dimensions, 10-15 working days lead time, no MOQ, material certs included with every batch.

All collets are stress-relieved after rough machining and before final grinding. This prevents distortion when the collet is clamped and released thousands of times per shift.
Three Reasons Buyers Send Us Their Drawings
1. Batch-traceable quality, not just a one-off sample.
Every collet gets a unique batch number. We record material heat number, heat treatment furnace log, and final inspection data against that number. If you need to trace a problem in your production line, you can go back to the exact batch and the exact machine cycle. This matters when you run 24/7 auto lathes and a bad collet stops a line.
2. Inspection report per batch, included free.
You get a dimensional report for every batch we ship. It lists bore width, corner radius, concentricity, hardness, and surface finish. We do not ask you to trust us. We give you numbers. If a dimension is out of spec, we catch it before packing, not after you mount it on your spindle.
3. One factory for CNC, stamping, springs, and heat sinks.
Your collet is not an isolated part. It works inside a chuck that may also use springs, stamped retainers, or a heat sink for thermal stability. We make all of those in the same facility. You send one drawing package, deal with one quality team, and receive one consolidated shipment. Fewer suppliers, fewer handoff errors, shorter total lead time.
Where These Parts Are Used
A 20-type square bore spring collet is not a general-purpose tool. It is specified for auto lathes and Swiss-type machines that feed square or rectangular bar stock. Typical applications:
Square brass and aluminum bar feeding in high-volume auto lathes for electrical terminals and connectors.
Hex and square steel stock in screw machines producing fasteners, fittings, and valve components.
Retrofit chucks on older cam-operated auto lathes where the original collet is no longer available.
Secondary operations on CNC lathes where a square bore collet holds a pre-machined square part for drilling, tapping, or milling.
The square bore prevents rotation of the workpiece under cutting torque. Unlike a round bore collet with a set screw, the square geometry transmits torque directly through the collet body. This reduces wear on the collet and improves positional repeatability for cross-drilled or milled features.
Q: Is there really no MOQ?
A: Yes, no MOQ. We machine a single prototype collet to your drawing, or we run 5,000 pieces. The unit price drops with quantity, but the first article is always inspected the same way. Many buyers start with one piece to verify fit and concentricity on their actual spindle.
Q: What tolerance can you hold on the square bore?
A: ±0.005 mm on the square width and corner radius. Concentricity between the bore and the taper is held to ≤0.01 mm TIR. If your drawing calls for tighter, we can discuss grinding processes, but ±0.005 mm is our standard for 20-type collets.
Q: How long until I get parts?
A: 10-15 working days for standard spring steel or alloy steel. Stainless steel adds 5 days. If you need a rush order for a line-down situation, call us. We can sometimes split the batch and air-ship the first pieces.
Q: Do you provide material certificates?
A: Yes, every batch ships with a mill certificate for the raw material and our own heat treatment report. We keep records for 10 years. If your customer requires full traceability, we can provide it in PDF or hard copy.

Precision manufacturing is not a promise. It is a verified dimension on an inspection report. That is what we ship.
