Yes we can. With our internal manufacturing capabilities in the suburbs of Chicago (near one of the largest industrial parks in North America) we have resources to make any type of custom tool holder or cutting tool. We are very proud of our newest CNC multi tasking machine. This machine allows even the most complex of parts to come out nearly complete. We have experience in making tool holders from the size of a key chain (ISO 10) all the way up to CAT60 tool holders with a gage length of 38 inches long. MariTool is a key supplier to several major machine tool builders. We provide them with Taper standards and pocket alignment gages used in the assembly and testing of their tool changers and tool hives. We routinely manufacture special prototype tool holders for experimental manufacturing concepts and ideas.
I don't know what retention knob my machine uses. Can you help?
Yes. Before contacting MariTool please be sure to check our Pull Stud Machine Guide, which may help you determine the proper pull stud for your application. Also, all of our pull stud listings have a print available for you to view all critical pull stud dimensions. If you still need assistance please email us at info@maritool.com and provide the following information:
Is your pull stud coolant thru?
Your machine make, model and spindle taper.
What tool holder style does your machine use?
Do you have any special requirements?
What quantity you would like to purchase?
I noticed the CAT40-ER32-1.85 short collet chuck, but do you have some collet chucks with a shorter gage length?
No we do not. We have noticed that putting the collet cavity any closer to the tool taper can lead to distortion of the taper. On the CAT40 and BT40 tool holders where the collet nut is flush with the face of the flange noticeable distortion of the tool holder taper is evident when the collet is torqued to just 55 ft-lbs. The outside taper became slightly larger at the end and taper roundness increased. Using such a holder can put excessive wear on the front portion of your spindle taper bore.
