Toolholders
Get A (Tight) Grip
High toolholder gripping torque reduces the likelihood that a tool will slip within a toolholder during a cutting operation. A mechanical toolholder design provides a very high gripping torque via a worm gear that compresses a shallow-taper collet tightly around a tool shank.

This assembly and mounting device for V-flange toolholders is designed to make it easier and safer to put toolholders, collets and cutting tools together. The device allows the toolholder to be clamped securely and rotated so that both ends of the assembly are accessible to the user in a comfortable position.
