Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a shrink-fit holder, and how does it work? ▼

Shrink Fit Extension It uses heat to expand the holder, allowing tool insertion. As it cools, it contracts tightly around the tool for exceptional grip and concentricity.

2. Why choose shrink-fit holders over mechanical holders? ▼

Shrink Fit Extension They offer better balance, lower runout, and a more compact design—ideal for high-speed and high-precision machining applications.

3. Are shrink-fit holders compatible with ER collets? ▼

Shrink Fit Extension No, shrink-fit and ER collet systems are separate technologies. Shrink-fit holders clamp tools thermally, while ER collets use mechanical compression.

4. Can I upgrade to shrink-fit holders through trade-in programs? ▼

Shrink Fit Extension Yes, some tooling suppliers offer upgrade paths similar to ER collet trade in in USA programs, helping reduce the cost of switching to shrink-fit technology.

5. What kind of tools work best with shrink-fit holders? ▼

Shrink Fit Extension Solid carbide tools with straight shanks are ideal, especially for finishing, mold work, and high-precision contour milling.

6. How does a shrink-fit holder improve surface finish? ▼

Shrink Fit Extension Its superior clamping force minimizes tool deflection and vibration, resulting in smoother surface finishes and tighter tolerances.
