Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a CAT Retention Knob used for in CNC machines?
View options — A CAT Retention Knob, also called a pull stud, is installed on the end of a CAT tool holder and allows the CNC spindle’s drawbar to securely grip the tool holder during machining. It plays a crucial role in tool retention and safety. You can view options at pactoolsusa.com.
2. Are CAT Retention Knobs compatible with all CAT tool holders?
Explore size compatibility — Retention knobs are available in different styles (e.g., CAT40, CAT50) and thread types to match specific tool holder standards. It’s important to select the correct knob to ensure a secure fit. Explore size compatibility at pactoolsusa.com.
3. What materials are CAT Retention Knobs made from?
Learn about material specs — Most CAT Retention Knobs are manufactured from alloy steel that is heat-treated and black oxide coated to resist wear, fatigue, and corrosion in high-speed CNC environments. Learn about material specs at pactoolsusa.com.
4. Can incorrect retention knobs damage the spindle or tool holder?
Shop OEM-fit knobs — Yes, using the wrong size or low-quality retention knob can cause improper engagement, tool slippage, or even spindle damage. Always use high-quality knobs that match OEM specifications — like those offered at pactoolsusa.com.
5. What maintenance is required for CAT Retention Knobs?
Get replacement parts — Regularly inspect the retention knob for signs of wear, cracking, or thread damage. Replacing worn knobs in time helps maintain spindle health and cutting precision. For replacement parts, visit pactoolsusa.com.
