Techniks 06032-3 Shrink-fit Extension Slimfit 6 Collet

Product Description

The TECHNIKS 06032-3 is a shrink-fit extension designed to expand the reach and versatility of compatible shrink-fit toolholding systems. This accessory allows machinists and toolroom technicians to extend the effective working length of their shrink-fit setup without sacrificing the concentricity and clamping force that shrink-fit toolholding is known for. It accommodates a shrinking diameter range of 5/32 to 1/4 inches, making it well suited for smaller-diameter cutting tools in precision machining applications. Weighing 1 pound, the unit is a compact, purpose-built accessory for shops running tight-tolerance work.

This extension is intended for use in CNC machining environments where additional tool reach is required, such as deep-cavity milling, aerospace component work, or die and mold applications. It is specifically compatible with the SlimFIT 6 Collet shrink-fit system. It is installed and serviced by machinists, toolroom technicians, or CNC setup personnel working with shrink-fit induction heating equipment.

Key Features

• Shrinking diameter range of 5/32 to 1/4 inches for smaller-diameter cutting tools
• Designed as an extension accessory for shrink-fit toolholding systems
• Compatible with the SlimFIT 6 Collet shrink-fit unit
• Compact form factor at 1 pound for easy handling and storage
• Maintains the concentricity and clamping integrity expected from shrink-fit toolholding

Compatibility

Designed for use with the SlimFIT 6 Collet shrink-fit system, accommodating tool shank diameters from 5/32 to 1/4 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a compatible shrink-fit induction heating unit to properly seat and release cutting tools within the extension bore. Always allow the extension to cool fully before handling or measuring runout after tool insertion. Follow the toolholder manufacturer's heating guidelines and never exceed recommended temperatures to avoid metallurgical damage to the bore. This work is typically performed by trained CNC setup technicians or toolroom personnel.
