The SK Collet Chuck is one of the most widely used tool holding systems in CNC machining, offering excellent clamping accuracy, high rigidity, and outstanding versatility. Designed to work with ER series Collets, the SK Collet Holder provides secure tool clamping for milling, drilling, reaming, and engraving applications.

As a professional SK Tool Holder manufacturer, we supply high-quality CNC SK Collet Chuck solutions for machining centers worldwide. Our products are manufactured with premium alloy steel and precision grinding technology to ensure stable performance, low runout, and long service life.

SK Collet Chuck

What Is an SK Collet Chuck?

An SK Collet Chuck is a precision tool holder that uses an ER collet to securely clamp cylindrical cutting tools. The SK taper conforms to the DIN 69871 standard and is widely used on CNC machining centers throughout Europe and many international markets.

Also known as SK-ER Collet Chuck, this tool holder combines an SK taper shank with an ER collet nut, allowing a wide range of cutting tool diameters to be used with a single holder.

The system is suitable for:

  • End mills

  • Drills

  • Reamers

  • Taps

  • Engraving tools

  • Carbide cutting tools
