Precision Tool Holding from Colton Industrial Cutting Tools
Keyless drill chucks provide a convenient tool holding solution for changing tools during a job. Colton drill chucks are built to a super precision tolerance to ensure minimal runout. The turning action is incredibly smooth thanks to the use of ball bearings. Ball bearings ensure greater durability over the long haul as well. A TiN (Titanium Nitride) coating ensures a tight grip and durable surface so that the chuck lasts job after job. This drill chuck is an easy upgrade to any shop!
5C and R8 Collets
5C Collets are one of the most universal collets in a machine shop. Part of the appeal of the 5C collet system is its wide range of sizes, commercially available from 1/64” to 1-1/8” in a variety of bores to include, round, square, hex, serrated. The 5C system lends itself to most jobs.
R8 collets are one of the most common ways to securely hold a tool in a milling machine. Colton Industrial R8 collets are made using high-grade tool steel and are hardened and polished.
Both of these collets are also extremely high precision. Having a set on hand saves you from having to shut down a job just because you do not have the right size!
Quick Change Tool Posts and Holders
Quick-change holders are incredibly versatile in the machine shop. Found almost exclusively on lathes, they allow you to quickly swap between tools with minimal setup time. The AXA #1 and BXA #4 holder (pictured), will work with turning or facing tools and help to keep the job running smoothly. The team at Colton Industrial Tools gave their quick-change holders a bit of an edge: a Zinc Nitride (ZiN) coating on all of the hardware gives it a more durable and rust-resistant finish while allowing for smoother thread action.
Colton Industrial holders are made from hardened and ground steel and allow for extra tool capacity over other holders on the market. While most holders have a capacity for tools up to 1/2”, Colton AXA #1 holders have a 5/8” capacity.

I ordered these collets for a custom drill sharpener along with a purchased 4 and 6 sided collet holder, I was able to sharpen and mill flats on 3 sides of the drill shank. These also have an internal thread on the collect backside for a standard collet stop.

In the past I've used high end collets like Hardinge. These collets are very nice; a real bargain compared to the cost of commercial tooling. The finish is excellent. The edges are sharp and crisp but free of burrs. A little time spent with deburring tools to ease the sharp corners will make these as nice as the high priced items. I inserted short pieces of 3mm-1/8" O-ring material in the slots of a few of them to make them self releasing after watching a Stefan Gotteswinter video on making inexpensive tooling work better.Photos: The 1/2"x1" screws were made 100% by holding in these collets including the slotting. The shafts were made in collets after reducing the smaller diameter to .750" and the 110 year old gear was a light press fit. Concentricity was excellent.
