And the beauty of that is, be-cause youre using a pool of common components, you can take it apart whenever the job is over and reuse the Based on yearsparts for other builds.A modular system normally consists of basic hold-of experience, weers with extensions, reductions and toolholder compo-have found thatnents that fit into them, such as shell mill, collet chuck before tapping,or endmill holders.its best to have aCoromant Capto by Sandvik is another modular sys-hole.

You can use a Coromant Capto adapter on hole can be. problematic.Coromant Capto is a completely modular system supporting machine adapters, extensions and facemill adapters. We know it is not always convenient to change back and forth from a drill chuck to a tapping attachment. the machine spindle side and then put different types This was the inspiration for our newof milling cutters, drills or boring heads on the machin-TapmaticDrill-n-Tap .

You can add more extensions to make it longer for all three steps! and stack them out as far as you need. On the same tool assembly, you can have different diameters, which gives Of course we dont mind if you just wantyou a lot of versatility. You usually would start with a to use it for tapping. larger diameter at the base and then reduce it to what-ever you need or just keep it all the same diameter for See the video at the entire assembly.www.tapmatic.com Of course, modular toolholders bring their own challenges.You will sacrifice a little bit of accuracy when you start building up these components, but theyre de-signed in such a way as to remove the inaccuracy of each connection, Burley said. Weve actually stacked 802 Clearwater Loop, Post Falls, Idaho 83854 together four or five parts and measured the (total [email protected] dicator runout) at almost 12" and seen runouts that are less than 0.0005", which is extremely good for any tool.58JULY2019 Toolholders.indd 58 6/13/19 4:43 PM'
