VC Collet Chuck – Ultra Performance in Aggressive Machining
When doing aggressive machining, it is more critical than ever to overcome challenges such as vibration, chatter, heat generation, workpiece stability, and tool wear. Selecting toolholders designed to improve rigidity and surface finish can set you up for success.
The VC collet chuck has a key design advantage with the TiN bearing nut allowing runout accuracy of 3 microns at 4 times the diameter of the cutting tool. This ensures accuracy and reliability during aggressive or high-speed operations resulting in improved surface finish as well as cutting tool life.
The extra thick body of the VC collet chuck provides cutting rigidity and reduces dampening for aggressive milling, high-speed machining, thread milling, and ultra-precision reaming.
The VC collet chuck provides double the accuracy of ER collet chucks – with 10x better repeatability. The VC collet chuck’s 8-degree collet taper provides double the gripping power of ER collet chuck’s 16-degree taper.
VC Collet Chuck Features
The VC collet chuck is featured packed to provide accuracy and rigidity.

Coolant Options
An effective coolant strategy is essential to dissipate heat, reduce friction, and prolong tool life during machining. Improper coolant application can lead to tool wear, poor surface finish, and thermal damage to the workpiece. The VC collet chuck coolant options include:
Taper Plus (Dual Contact) Availability
Also available in Taper Plus (dual contact) which offers the following advantages:
- Outstanding runout accuracy for longer tool life
- Vibration dampening for increased productivity
- High rigidity for smooth and stable cutting
- Interchangeable between standard and dual face contact spindles
- 53% more surface area contact than just the taper alone
Taper Plus toolholders are interchangeable between standard and dual face contact spindles for greater flexibility.
