What exactly is an end mill holder?

An End mill holder is a tool holder designed to securely grip the shank of an end mill using a set screw. PACTools offers durable end mill holders for heavy-duty cutting applications where rigidity is essential.

What sizes are endmill holders are available?

At PACTools, End mill holders are available in various sizes, with bore diameters ranging from 1/8″ to 1-1/2″ (or 6 mm to 40 mm in metric). They also come in different projection lengths, like stub, standard, and extended, to suit various machining needs. If you need guidance on which product to order, you can email us at sales@pactoolsusa.com or call our sales team.

How is an end mill holder different from a collet chuck?

An End mill holder uses a set screw to grip the tool shank, offering high rigidity, while a collet chuck (like PACTools’ ER holders) uses a collet to provide better concentricity and versatility across different tool size.

What shank tolerance is required for proper fit in an end mill holder?

For a seacure fit in end mill holders from PACTools, the tool shank should have an h6 tolerance. This ensures proper contact and prevents slippage during high-speed machining operations.

How often should I inspect the bore of the holder?

At PACTools, we recommend inspecting the bore of the holder regularly-ideally after every 40-50 hours of operation, to ensure precision, prevent wear, and maintain optimal tool holding performance. If you need guidance on which product to order, you can email us at sales@pactoolsusa.com or call our sales team.

Can I use an end mill holder on CNC and manual machines?

Yes, PAC Tools end mill holders are compatible with both CNC and manual machines, offering strong grip and stability for various milling operations across both platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is an End Mill Holder? ▼

An End Mill Holder is a tool for securely clamping a cutting tool, like an end mill, into a milling machine spindle to prevent it from rotating during use. These holders provide a more rigid and stable connection than a standard collet, especially for heavy-duty applications, by using a set screw to grip a flat, known as a Weldon shank, on the end mill’s body.

2. What are the benefits of using PACTools End Mill Holders? ▼

End Mill Holders provide excellent rigidity, reliable performance, and reduced tool slippage and vibrations. They are ideal for demanding machining operations where strength and stability are essential for maintaining precision, dimensional accuracy, and surface quality.

3. How is an End Mill Holder different from an ER Collet Holder? ▼

An end mill holder uses a set screw to push against the tool shank, which is less rigid and more prone to runout than an ER collet holder, making it suitable for less demanding applications. An ER collet holder uses a collet with a conical shape to grip the tool shank with high accuracy and a more rigid, vibration-damping grip, making it better for general-purpose and high-speed machining. End Mill Holders are better for high-torque applications, while ER Collet Holders are more versatile for lighter and varied tool sizes.

4. What sizes are available for End Mill Holders? ▼

PAC Precision Tools offers End Mill Holders in multiple taper configurations, such as CAT, BT, and HSK, to fit a wide range of CNC spindles. Each size ensures precision fit, excellent balance, and compatibility with standard tool shank diameters used in machining. And the available project length is from 1-3/4", 2", 2-3/8", 2-1/2", and more. For more info, please contact us.

5. Are End Mill Holders suitable for high-speed machining? ▼

Yes, PAC Precision Tools End Mill Holders can be suitable for high-speed machining, but it depends on the specific holder type and its quality. While traditional solid end mill holders are not recommended for high-speed machining operations due to their lack of balance, more advanced and precise holders like collet chucks, hydraulic holders(chucks), of those with high-speed tapers like HSK are well-suited for high-RPM operations

6. How should I maintain End Mill Holders? ▼

Clean the holders after every use, remove metal chips and coolant residue, and lightly oil the surface to prevent rust. Proper care maintains accuracy, improves performance, and extends the lifespan of both the holder and the spindle. For more guidance on maintenance, you can email us at sales@pactoolsusa.com.

7.Do End Mill Holders support coolant-through systems? ▼

Yes, selected models feature coolant-through capability that allows coolant to flow directly to the cutting area. This feature improves chip removal, tool life, and overall machining efficiency, especially during high-speed or deep-cutting operations
