Collets for Material Sensitive to Scratching

Edge Technologies represents the full line of Schlenker collets and guide bushings for North America, including a selection of fully sealed collets.

"The collets are manufactured to accept polyurethane inserts that grip the barstock rather than steel as in other collet designs," said a company spokesperson. "This allows the user to cut softer materials such as aluminum, brass and synthetics without any marks being left on the outside dimension of the final product. These inserts can be manufactured to grip round, square, hex and profiled materials.

"The slots of the collet are enclosed with a silicone material that serves as a barrier to keep chips and debris out of the openings. Once the bar is clamped in the polyurethane insert and the collet is in the closed position it is entirely sealed against contamination. This results in a more accurate, repeatable grip and a collet that is easy to clean after use.

"All of Schlenker collets and bushings have exceptional and consistent clamping pressures that handle bar inaccuracies and fluctuations with ease."

Edge Technologies is the sole importer and distributor of Schlenker products for the North American marketplace.
