Kennametal 6302930 CAT40 Tool Holder Tightening Fixture

Product Description

The KENNAMETAL 6302930 is a single-position tool holder tightening fixture designed for CAT40 taper tooling. It provides a stable, fixed base for securing and releasing tool holders during insert changes, assembly, and torque operations at the bench. The fixture measures 6.46 inches in base length, 3.54 inches in base width, and stands 3.31 inches in overall height, keeping the holder firmly oriented during wrench application. Weighing 8.99 pounds, the unit is heavy enough to resist movement on a workbench without clamping. Machinists and toolroom technicians working with CAT40 spindle tooling rely on this fixture for safe, repeatable tool changes.

This fixture is suited for toolroom, grinding room, and production floor environments where CAT40 tool holders are regularly assembled or serviced. It supports a single tool holder position, making it appropriate for lower-volume or intermittent tool change operations. Applications include presetter stations, tool crib benches, and CNC setup areas where CAT40 holders are loaded, torqued, or inspected outside the machine spindle.

Installation Notes

This fixture is a bench-mounted, non-powered tool requiring no electrical or pneumatic connections. Place it on a flat, stable work surface before seating the tool holder. Always ensure the tool holder is fully seated in the fixture before applying torque with a spanner wrench or torque wrench. Follow the tool holder manufacturer's recommended torque procedure for the specific retention knob or collet nut being tightened.
