Abstract
The machine tool collet has a plurality of gripping jaws held in a longitudinally and angularly spaced relation about a longitudinal centerline axis through the collet. The gripping jaws have an inner face parallel to the centerline axis and the plurality of jaws define an inner diameter opening through the collet for receiving a tool shank. Resilient material is disposed between the gripping jaws for holding the plurality of jaws in the desired spaced relation. The radially inward directed stop is defined within the opening of the collet. The stop is disposed so as to contact the rear face of a tool shank inserted into the collet thereby preventing rearward axial movement of the tool shank within the collet.
