Shrink-Fit Machines & Toolholders
Shrink-fit machines and toolholders create a well-balanced, high-grip toolholder setup for machining at high feeds and speeds and producing accurate cuts and high-quality finishes. Shrink-fit toolholders use thermal contraction rather than mechanical tightening to get a stronger, more uniform grip on cutting tools than collets, milling chucks, or hydraulic chucks. Shrink-fit machines heat shrink-fit toolholders to allow tools to be inserted or removed. Shrink-fit extension and reduction sleeves modify shrink fit chucks and toolholders so they can hold different tools. Shrink-fit machine parts and accessories are used to maintain shrink-fit machines and prepare shrink-fit toolholders for installation.
