Planning Guide

Plan the right fit before choosing

Start With Compatibility

Choose the correct R-8 or 5C solution

Compatibility is the first selection point. The R-8 rack is intended for R-8 collets and can also accommodate compatible R-8 arbors and adapters. The 5C racks are dedicated to 5C collets, while the block set holds standard 5C collets for compatible machining setups.

  • Use an R-8 rack for R-8 collets and compatible R-8 tooling.
  • Use a 5C rack for organized storage of 5C collets.
  • Use the compact 5C block set when a holding solution for standard 5C collets is needed.
Compare Capacity and Footprint

Size storage around your collet collection

Rack capacity varies from 30 to 72 collets, with a 48-collet R-8 option. For a defined storage footprint, the 48-collet R-8 rack measures 19 x 13.5 x 13 inches. The 5C block set measures 2 x 2 x 2 inches for compact handling and storage.

  • Choose 30-capacity storage for up to 30 5C collets.
  • Choose 48-capacity storage for up to 48 R-8 collets.
  • Choose 72-capacity storage for up to 72 5C collets.
Consider Construction and Placement

Fit the product to the workspace

Construction differs by product. The 30-capacity 5C rack uses 18-gauge steel, the 72-capacity 5C rack uses heavy-gauge aluminum with double-plate construction, and the 5C block set is made of hardened tool steel. The 72-capacity rack offers machine, bench, or wall placement flexibility.

  • Select double-plate construction when firm collet retention is a priority.
  • Consider machine, bench, or wall placement for the 72-capacity 5C rack.
  • Use construction details to compare the listed storage and holding options.
