has released the new P3 ER collet system. The company claims this is the first coated ER collet system. Parlec’s P3 ER collets feature an anti-friction coating on the 30° face of the collet that interfaces with the collet nut when tightening during tool setup.
According to Parlec, the anti-friction coating reduces radial distortion helping improve run-out. Parlec P3 ER collets reportedly have a repeatably accuracy of 0.0001" and are sealed for coolant pressures up to 2,000 psi due to a special slotting design. Parlec P3 ER collets are available in ER11, 16, 20, 25, 32 and 40" and metric sizes; they are meant to be used with on-size tooling. Parlec says the P3 ER collets can be used in any ER collet chuck to improve accuracy and cutting performance.
