Lexair's new Model 16C wrench-operated collet chuck has an integral A2-5 nose to accommodate standard 16C collets up to 1.625", as well as bolt-on closing rings and ID mandrels. The 6-inch diameter capacity chuck features a universal flat back design and is concentrically adjustable for optimum accuracy.

The collets are ideal for use on hybrid CNC/manual teach lathes, and can also be used with a variety of lathes, mills, grinders, indexers and other rotating spindle equipment when used with various mounting plates available from Lexair.

The Model 16C collet is operated via a T-handle chuck wrench and does not require draw bars or cylinders. This is the latest in the company's line of wrench-operated collets, including the 5C, 3J and 22J, with workpiece capacities of 1.06", 1.75" and 2.25", respectively.
