COLET CLEANING: The COLLET is the sleeve attached to the end of the spindle. It allows tools to be
automatically received and released. Cleanliness of the COLLET is very important and affects the precision of
workpieces. If the COLLET is not kept clean, the COLLET and its housing will wear out over time. The COLLET
can be replaced with a new one, but a highly worn out COLLET may damage the spindle housing, in which case
the spindle will require replacement.
It should be cleaned every day.
It should be cleaned when switching from dry to wet or from wet to dry processing.
