Split Ring Stop Collar for 3/16" Drill Bit

Split Ring Stop Collar For Accurate Drill Depth

Split Ring Stop Collar for 3/16" Drill Bit is a dedicated depth-control collar for 3/16 inch bits, so drilling setups that rely on 5mm or 3/16 inch holes can be repeated without constant measuring. The split-ring design provides superior grip on the drill bit, which holds your depth setting firmly under typical drilling loads. The collar is made of aluminum, giving a lightweight feel in the hand that reduces fatigue when you are moving between multiple jigs or drilling locations. The adjustable design lets you position the collar anywhere along the 3/16 inch bit, allowing you to match drill depth to the requirements of your jig layout. Brand identification as True Position ties this collar directly to True Position drilling workflows, supporting consistent results when matching existing True Position layouts.

Key Stop Collar Details That Support Workflow

• The split-ring design provides superior grip on the drill bit, which helps the collar stay locked during repeated drilling so depth stays consistent across a series of holes.
• The collar is described as a 5mm drill stop collar, aligning it with common 5mm or 3/16 inch drilling tasks so one collar can handle standard cabinet and jig hole sizes.
• The lightweight aluminum construction keeps overall tool weight down, which is useful when frequently adjusting jigs or moving the drill between workpieces on longer runs.
• The adjustable design means the stop collar can be set at different positions on a 3/16 inch bit, allowing you to dial in depth for different material thicknesses in the same shop setup.
• The True Position product class and TP-5MMSC part number identify this collar within True Position systems, helping match it to existing True Position drilling jigs in professional shops.

Adjustable Stop Collar Setup For 3/16 Inch Bits

This 5mm drill stop collar is built around an adjustable design, so the collar slides along the 3/16 inch bit until the desired depth is reached, then locks to hold that setting. The split-ring design provides superior grip on the drill bit, so once the collar is tightened the depth setting stays stable as you move from hole to hole. The collar is made of lightweight aluminum, so adjustments on the bench or at the jobsite feel quick and controlled without adding much front-end weight to the drill. An Allen key is specified with the stop collar, giving you a positive way to secure the split ring onto the bit whenever you change depth settings.

Using This True Position Stop Collar In Drilling Work

Where This 5mm Drill Stop Collar Fits Best

The SAP description identifies this component as a 5mm drill stop collar, directly matching common 5mm or 3/16 inch drilling used in cabinet and woodworking jigs. The Web Description states it is for 3/16 inch drill bits, so it fits bits sized for 5mm-style boring patterns often used in casework and hardware layouts. Being in the Woodworking Tools and Equipment, Hand Tools, Jigs category connects this collar to jig-guided drilling rather than freehand marking, supporting work where precise, repeatable depths are required at each guide bushing. The True Position brand and product class confirm it is designed to work alongside True Position drilling approaches, so shops already using True Position layouts can align their bit depth with the same reference thinking used in their existing jigs. The manufacturer part number TP-5MMSC further identifies the collar in ordering and stocking systems, which helps keep a consistent setup whenever a specific 5mm or 3/16 inch drill stop is needed on the bench.

Why The Split-Ring Aluminum Design Supports Accuracy

The split-ring design provides superior grip on the drill bit, which matters when you are running repetitive drill cycles because the collar resists creeping up the shank under thrust, keeping hole depth consistent from the first hole to the last. Lightweight aluminum construction means the collar adds minimal mass to the rotating bit, so handling remains nimble while still delivering the clamping strength expected from the split ring. The adjustable design made of aluminum allows precise depth tuning along the bit, and the low weight makes small changes fast when you are dialing in the first test hole. The Web Description notes that an Allen key is associated with the collar, providing a defined tool interface to tighten the split ring so torque from the drill does not loosen your setting. Together, these details support a workflow where the depth stop is set once on a 3/16 inch bit and then relied on across jigs, cabinets, or panels that share the same bore depth requirement.
