collet
Tool-holding metal ring
A collet is a ring or collar that holds something in place, especially a tapered sleeve that grips a tool or workpiece when tightened.
In machining, collets secure drill bits, end mills, or router bits with precision.
In jewelry, a collet is the band of metal that encircles and holds a gemstone in its setting.
