BT40 Lock Tool Holder for CNC machines Key benefits Secure clamping: positively locks cutting tools for stable cutting, consistent results, and reduced part variation. Faster tool changes: integrated design enables quick installation and removal, cutting changeover time and operator effort. Simplified unloading: unloading tool holder feature streamlines manual swaps and automatic tool change (ATC) workflows. Improved precision and tool life: rigid clamping reduces runout, improving machining accuracy, surface finish, and cutting-tool longevity. Durable construction: high-strength steel body resists high torque and wear for long service life and reliable performance. Broad compatibility: standard BT40 interface fits common BT40 spindles, tool shanks, and compatible adapters. What it does and why you need it Holds and locks BT40 cutting tools securely during machining to maintain repeatable setup and part quality. Speeds up tool changes and reduces downtime in both automated and manual environments, helping maintain production throughput. Minimizes vibration and runout to support high-precision milling and extend tool life, lowering overall tooling costs.
