Sherline 9/64" (.1406) WW Collet
Ensures high centering accuracy
Offers precise mounting for parts
Fits into specially designed adapter
Supports stock up to 3/16″ diameter
Manufactured to standard WW specs
The Sherline 9/64" (.1406) WW Collet offers a precise and efficient method for mounting cylindrical parts or bar stock in a lathe, ensuring high centering accuracy. This collet functions as a small, precision 3-jaw chuck that fits into a specially designed tapered adapter within the headstock. The drawbar, threading through the headstock and into the collet's backside, pulls the collet into the adapter, causing the jaws to close and securely grip the part for machining. Each collet size accommodates a limited range of diameters, approximately ±.001″ (.02mm), providing a highly accurate part mounting system.
WW collets are distinct from milling collets due to their through-hole design, allowing stock with a maximum diameter of 3/16″ or 4.5mm to pass entirely through. Collets larger than this diameter are known as "pot" chucks and are not bored through, being only .260″ deep. The collet's maximum runout is .002″ or less, and when the WW collet adapter is properly trued, it ensures optimal runout performance.
Sherline collets are logically numbered, with inch collets beginning with part number 1160 followed by two digits indicating the size in 64ths of an inch. These collets are manufactured to standard WW specifications, with a shank diameter of .312-.313 and a .275-40 thread. It is crucial to verify compatibility with other manufacturers' WW collets to ensure they fit the Sherline adapter.
