A collet is a holding device that forms a collar around the object to be held and exerts a strong clamping force on the object when it is tightened. It may be used to hold a workpiece or a tool. Collets generally have a narrow clamping range which means a large number are required to hold a given range of materials, unlike a chuck that will generally cover the full range that the machine is designed for.
