Coated vs UnCoated Collet Nuts[Demo]

Collet nuts are an essential component of any toolholding system. They play a vital role in securely fastening cutting tools during machining processes. Selecting between coated and uncoated collet chucks can be challenging for regular machinists seeking the best fit for their dynamic machining needs. To make machining life simple, Techniks conducted tests comparing uncoated and coated collet nuts.
Here’s the findings:
1. Techniks' PowerCOAT collet nuts, featuring an anti-friction coating, provide up to 75% greater clamping pressure compared to standard uncoated collet nuts. Insufficient clamping power in uncoated nuts may result in tool slippage during machining.
2. Coated nuts are specifically engineered to work seamlessly with coolant collet options.
3. By reducing TIR (Total Indicated Runout), PowerCOAT collets can extend tool life by 20%.
4. Coated collets are designed for high-speed machining, ensuring optimal balance.
Some valuable tips from Techniks:
• Always tighten the nut to the proper torque using a torque wrench with a tightening stand. Over-tightening the nut can damage both the collet and the collet pocket.
• Use the correct size collet for the workpiece. A collet that is too small will not grip the workpiece tightly enough, while a collet that is too large will not provide enough support.
• Inspect the collet nut regularly for damage. If the nut is damaged, replace immediately.

Still making in Fairport NY? I see the Parlec sign on the way to the local HFO, but never turned into that industrial park.

Thank you, all of your tool holders are USA made? Or just some of them? Charles
