Retightening the Collet ZS-52D <DWX-52D>
There are two types of spindles. This section presents the case for ZS-52D.
The collet for ZS-52D spindles is ZC-52D.
Collet (part used to grip the milling bur)
If milling is continued, the collet will loosen, making it easier for the milling bur to come off. Periodically retighten the collet.
It may be effective to clean the inside of the collet at the same time as retightening it.
