Choosing a tapping collet
Start with the holder. The collet has to fit the holder it goes into: ER11, ER16, ER20, ER25 or ER40 for the ER collets, or the RX30, RX50 or RX70 size for the Rubberflex collets. Then match the tap. For the ER square drive and round drive collets, pick the variant that matches your tap size and tap type as shown in the variant name. For the Rubberflex collets, pick the range that covers your tap shank diameter.
A collet that does not match the tap and holder will not drive or hold the tap correctly, so confirm the fit before you order.
Always check the data sheet. Confirm the holder size, tap size and tap type for your set up before you order.
