Replacing The Collet - Roland DWX-4W User Manual

Replacing the Collet

Recommended Replacement Interval
 When scratches or rust appears on the tapered portion of the collet
 If the collet is deformed
The collet is a part that wears out. If a large force, such as an overload during milling, is applied to the collet, the collet may
have become deformed. In such cases, it is necessary to replace the collet. Contact your authorized Roland DG Corporation
dealer to purchase a replacement collet.
Required Tools

Note
Collet replacement should be completed quickly. This is because a sufficient amount of compressed air must be
supplied while performing the work, and if the work is not completed promptly, the compressed air supply will
be insufficient. If the compressed air can no longer be supplied, an error will occur, which will result in the need
to start the operation over from the beginning.
