Techniks 17708 Spindle Taper Wiper Taper Size 50

Product Description

The TECHNIKS 17708 is a spindle taper wiper designed to clean spindle bores and tool tapers on milling machines. Constructed from lambskin, the wiper provides a soft, lint-free contact surface that removes chips, coolant residue, and contamination from taper seating surfaces without scratching or abrading the ground finish. Sized for Taper 50 spindles, the 17708 has an overall length of 240 millimeters. Keeping taper surfaces clean before tool changes reduces runout and extends tool holder and spindle life. Machinists and CNC operators use this wiper as part of routine tool-change procedure on knee mills, vertical machining centers, and similar equipment fitted with Taper 50 spindles.

The TECHNIKS 17708 is intended for use on milling machines equipped with a Taper 50 spindle interface. It is well suited to production shops, job shops, and maintenance environments where tool changes are frequent and taper cleanliness is critical to consistent part tolerances. The lambskin material is gentle enough for daily use without damaging precision-ground spindle surfaces.

Key Features

• Lambskin construction provides a soft, non-abrasive wiping surface safe for ground spindle tapers
• Sized for Taper 50 spindle interfaces
• 240 millimeter overall length allows reach into deep spindle bores
• Removes chips, oils, and coolant residue before tool insertion
• Supports reduced runout and improved tool seating consistency

Compatibility

Designed for use with Taper 50 spindle bores on milling machines and vertical machining centers that use the Taper 50 interface standard.

Installation Notes

This wiper is a hand-held cleaning tool, not a machine-mounted component. Power down the spindle and ensure it has come to a complete stop before inserting the wiper into the bore. Apply light, even pressure when wiping the taper surface; avoid forcing or twisting the wiper against sharp chip edges. Inspect the lambskin for embedded debris after each use and replace the wiper when the material shows wear or contamination buildup.
