V-Mar Collet Wrenches
We thought to build the perfect collet wrench for our customers. These wrenches have a red anodized aluminum handle with a keyway fit between the handle and the wrench head. The head of this collet wrench is made from 4140 chromoly steel, so it's less likely won't bend or break under pressure. The black oxide finish will keep it rust free in your toolbox or on the workbench.
We stock collet wrenches for most of the common sizes of lathe collets. Starting with the 3C all the way up to the 20C. The 16C wrenches also fit the 3J collets which are roughly the same size as the 16C.
If you run into a collet that is stuck to the collet holder, place a piece or stock into the collet and give it a light tap side to side to knock it loose. Sometimes the threads can get jammed up with chips that make their way thru the slots in the collet. When you try to unscrew the collet it gets jammed up on the chips that get caught in the threads. Try spraying some lubricant (WD40 or similar) into the collet slots to try and flush them out, then place a wrench on the V-Mar collet wrench and work the collet back and forth to knock the chips loose and remove the collet.
