This is a CNC machined ER20 spring collet chuck built to clamp carbide end mills with a guaranteed runout of 0.005 mm TIR (tested at 3×D from the nose). The chuck body is hardened to 58 HRC, ground on the taper and bore, and ships from our Dongguan factory in 15 days. You get repeatable tool clamping for finishing passes, not just roughing.
The ER20 collet chuck uses a 8° cone angle. When you tighten the nut, the collet compresses radially, not axially. That radial squeeze grips the carbide end mill shank with even force across the full 20 mm clamping length. No set screws, no side pressure, no tool push-out under heavy chip loads. The result is a rigid connection that keeps tool deflection below 0.01 mm at 12,000 RPM.
We machine the chuck body from AISI 4140 alloy steel, not cheap 45# carbon steel. After CNC turning and milling, we through-harden to 58–60 HRC, then temper to relieve stress. The taper is ground on a Junker grinder to a surface finish of Ra 0.4 μm. The collet slot and thread are cut with a wire EDM to avoid burrs that can cause runout drift.
Every ER20 chuck we ship is test-fitted with a 6 mm carbide end mill (two-flute, AlTiN coated) before packaging. We measure runout at the shank and at the cutting edge. If the reading exceeds 0.005 mm, we reject it. This is not a random sample. It is 100% inspection on every unit, and we include the runout report in the box.
Our QC room runs a Zeiss CMM for taper angle (8° ± 5′), a Marposs gauge for bore ID, and a TIR indicator for runout. We also check thread pitch with a go/no-go gauge. Each chuck gets a laser-etched serial number. You can trace the heat treatment batch and grinding operator from that number. We do not ship parts without this paperwork.
We stock ER20 chucks in shank diameters of 16 mm, 19.05 mm (3/4″), 20 mm, and 25.4 mm (1″). Straight shank, CAT40, BT30, and BT40 are available. You can order one piece for prototype work or 500 pieces for production. There is no minimum order quantity. Mix sizes in one order – the price per unit stays the same.

Most runout problems come from dirty tapers or over-tightening the nut. Clean the chuck bore and collet with solvent before every tool change. Use a torque wrench – ER20 standard is 60–70 Nm, not 100 Nm. If you see wear marks on the collet slots, replace the collet, not the chuck. Our chuck body is designed for 10,000+ clamping cycles if you follow this.
No MOQ – you can order a single piece for a prototype run, and the price remains the same as a bulk order.
Yes, we offer custom shank lengths, through-coolant holes, and G2.5 balancing for high-speed spindles, with a 3-day engineering lead time for drawings.
Every chuck, regardless of order size, goes through the same 100% inspection with CMM and TIR gauge, and we email you the inspection report before shipping.
For 100 standard ER20 chucks (same size), lead time is 12 days from drawing approval; for mixed sizes, it is 15 days.
Our factory in Dongguan has been making CNC tool holders since 2004. We run 30 CNC lathes and 5 grinders in-house, so we control the entire process – turning, hardening, grinding, and inspection. You are not buying from a trader. This is a precision manufacturing operation, made in China, with the same QC discipline as German or Japanese shops but at a lower cost. Before you order, read our CNC cutting tool selection guide to match the chuck to your spindle. And check our CNC machining tolerances guide to understand what 0.005 mm means for your application.
Send us your spindle model, shank size, and collet range. Our engineers will confirm the exact ER20 chuck configuration and email you a firm quote with a technical drawing within 12 hours. We accept prototype orders and production runs. No MOQ, no hidden tooling costs. Email your drawing to sc@bquq.com or message us on WhatsApp at +86 13713157787. The Cnc Machined Er20 Spring Collet Chuck With Carbide End Mill Cnc Milling is ready for your spindle.
