The Sherline 1/32" (.0313") 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. A drawbar threads into the collet's backside, drawing it into the adapter, which causes the jaws to close and securely grip the part to be machined.

WW collets, unlike milling collets, feature a hole that extends through both the collet and drawbar, allowing stock with a maximum diameter of 3/16" or 4.5mm to pass entirely through. Collets larger than this diameter are referred to as "pot" chucks and are not bored through, being only .260" deep. The collet's accuracy is notable, with a maximum runout of .002" or less, provided the WW collet adapter is trued as per instructions.

Sherline collets are logically numbered, with inch collets beginning with part number 1160 followed by size in 64ths of an inch. These collets are manufactured to standard WW specifications, though they are not hardened. It is crucial to verify compatibility with the Sherline adapter when considering collets from other manufacturers. Sherline also offers a slightly larger adapter and drawbar set to accommodate some 8 mm collets from other brands.
