Inserting and removing collets is done with a special quick-change gun. The gun is inserted into the holes on the face of the collet and the trigger is pulled to compress the collet. The chuck is unclamped with the foot pedal and the collet can be removed and placed in its protective storage housing. Once you have removed the collet, make sure you clean it and the taper of the collet chuck very well. | Inserting and removing collets is done with a special quick-change gun.

Collets are stored in the second drawer of the wheeled tool cabinet opposite the lathe. They should be replaced - cleaned - in the drawer after they have been used. A light coat of WD-40 before putting a collet away will help keep them in good condition for longer. '''Collets we keep on hand (mm):''' | |||
