1. How tight is the grip of a shrink fit holder compared to other tool holders? ▲
PAC Tools Shink fir holders offer an exceptionally tight grip with minimal runout, outperforming traditional collet or end mill holders. This ensures greater precision and rigidity, making PACTools ideal for high-performance machining applications.
2. Is there a risk of damaging the tool shank due to heat? ▼
Yes, excessive heat during machining or improper
shrink-fit procedures can potentially damage the tool shank. PACTools recommends using proper cooling and fitting techniques to avoid thermal stress on the tool.
3. What happens if I use an undersized tool shank? ▼
Using an undersized
tool shank tool shank can lead to poor clamping, tool slippage, and reduced machinih accuracy. PACTool advices using properly sized shanks to ensure secure fir and optimal performance.
4. How do I know if the tool is fully inserted during the shrink process? ▼
During the shrink process,
PAC Tools recommends marking the tool shank beforehand. Once inserted, the mark should align with holder’s face to confirm full and proper insertion.
5. How do I remove a stuck tool from a shrink fit holder? ▼
To remove a
stuck tool, reheat the PACTools shrink fit holder using an induction heater. The holder expands thermally, allowing safe and easy removal of the tool without force or damage.
6. Are shrink fit holders balanced for high RPM use? ▼
Yes, Shrink
fit holders from PACTools are precisely balanced for high-speed applications, typically up to 25,000 RPM or more. ensuring smooth operation and reduced vibration in high-performance machining operation. for more information contact us at +1 262-282-2456 or email us at
