Care and Maintenance of Toolholders
Worn or damaged toolholders can reduce tool life, degrade workpiece surface finish or harm the machine tool spindle. A downloadable guide from Techniks explains what operators should look for when evaluating the condition of a collet and nut-style toolholder.
Collet and nut-style toolholders don’t have many components, but each one should be checked carefully for signs of wear or damage.
Techniks is a manufacturer of toolholders and accessories such as nuts, collets, retention knobs and many other toolholder and workholding products.
